hummingbirds
 

Anyone have hummingbirds yet ?

I heard a few on here have some on their boats. :-) Sorry couldn't resist.

I've had several of them get in the shop already. Sucks but, its pretty much a death sentence for em because they can never find their way back out.

On a more serous note, we haven't seen any over here yet.

I seen a couple buzzin around the house before I left for work last week...time to fill up the feeders...Southern, when they get caught in my shop I get two ladders and another person with dip nets and we catch and release them that way...

My shop is 10k sq feet with 18' walls. It's a little tough to get em in there. Plus I doubt my ins co would be real thrilled to hear that was the reason that one of my employees fell off a ladder! Lol

Yea...you right on that!! Hell just hang some feeders in the shop!!

I've been feeding the ones at my house for over a month now. They pretty much go through 2 feeders a week.

I can 2 a week or so back. Now just seeing 1....sometimes.

Here a coupe of my favorate pictures from 2 years ago.

I guess I need to put out my feeder.

When I was working in our fab shop a humming bird got hung up in some spider webs and couldn't fly. My and a co-worker cleaned the webs off of it and it took off without a problem.

Something has been hitting the feeders but I have not seen them yet

I was just asking this question yesterday morning, and no one has seen them up here yet

Had one stuck in the garage yesterday. Netted him and released to fight another day.

Haven't seen any yet at my dads he usually has about 200 every year.

Have 2 that stays around

The ruby-throats are what we get mostly, but in the winter lately people that keep out their feeders are seeing about 5 different species of what are typically 'western' hummingbirds. Birds aren't migrating all the way down to Central/South America, they are 'shortstopping' (similar to what Ducks Unlimited has been doing for years to keep ducks out the south:rotfl::eek::cool:). Been well documented, there is a lady that bands them.


My grandmother used to tell us they rode on the backs of geese!
