        I love to watch hummingbirds, too. It is a real treat when one actually lands for a moment and the feathers change colors in the sunlight. There are always a few that stick around here year-round. It gets cold and foggy here. BRR.

          My Hummingbirds go to South America every year and come back the next year.   Check out the site below:


          http://www.hummingbirds.net/migration.html  This is a fascinating site.  I enjoyed reading it.  I’m sure you will too.

            I love hummingbirds! If I don't get my feeder up in spring on time I will see one or two going to where the feeder is supposed to be. It's just amazing they know where the food was the previous year!
