My plan was just to keep an couple ounces in there ...tossing every couple days... just to be on the ready when they arrive. Perhaps I won't be tossing any out, afterall!

I only started watching birds last year...and have that photo of the (likely) Calliope female that I took the first day or so of May. Unfortunately, while I'd seen hummers a bit before that, I didn't track such things then. <br /><br />I've noticed the CoBirds network has reported a Black-chin in Fremont County and I thought one somewhere else, too (but can't find the post).<br /><br />Of course, I'll post as soon as I see 'em.<br /><br />What was that I just read a bit on a bunch of blue-birds dying? It sounded like they were cold and wet and might have been unable to find food? Dang...<br /><br />Thanks for stopping by!Beverlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09334121900896195207noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5598189770868382234.post-29643144784090910922009-04-20T15:21:00.000-06:002009-04-20T15:21:00.000-06:00Beverly,
