A few years ago, Karl attended a class about hummingbirds. He learned about their habits and how to attract them. For example, he learned that once a hummingbird decides your feeder is a good, safe place to find food, then he’ll make it a regular stop on his migratory journey. Plus, other hummingbirds will find out. Kind of like the way you and I pick a favorite Waffle House on the way to the beach. So far this season, we have seen two different hummingbirds visiting our feeder. I hope to snap a picture of the other soon; it has a gorgeous, bright red throat.
