Happy HummerWars!!! This year we put up a new hummingbird feeder next to our pool and sunflower garden. At first a male and female were regulars at the feeder, but after a few weeks we acquired at least 3 more young birds to the mix, we think they are the offspring of the original pair. As the young ones have gotten older over the last few months, the parents are now chasing them away each time they try to drink at the feeder. So we added a second feeder about a month ago. They still fight but they at least have a chance of sipping at one or the other when its not being guarded by a parent! We watched the mature male knock down one of the young males, hold him to the ground, and actually stand on him for about 20 seconds… stunning the young one… trying to keep him off of the feeder! Wow, we had no idea they could be such combatants!

It’s March and I have begun noticing the return of some birds to Western New York. Yes, Spring is almost here. There are more Canadian Geese in the area now, too. Migration of birds. I love this time of year. I enjoy listening to the sounds of the returning birds. My dog seems to enjoy them, too, as he watches the sky more.
