Taking your hummingbird feeders down - Page 2 - Wildlife Gardeners

64?????????

I don't know what we are right now but my bet is we're up to at least 20.

We'll be in the 20's on Sunday. We're getting a cold front in right now -- VERY windy, and they are calling for snow showers on Sunday.

Where are you located?

Way up north in Illinois. We're getting hit right now. Schools are closed, they're not even bothering to remove cars from the ditches, and I've got to get out there to dig out my birdfeeders to re-fill them so I'm off for a while. Our bird friends can't get to any of the feeders and they'll be coming out when the snow stops.

Oh gosh, good luck with that! Actually, all of us at work down here wish we could be snowed in, but we're crazy that way.
Stay warm, and I know the birds will appreciate all your efforts!

Warming up and taking a break. One trail snow blowed to a birdfeeder. It's a start.

Rain here, and it was near 70 before that started (65 now). That's warm for here this time of year, though. Seems only fair to me since we had a spell of unseasonal cold for a couple of weeks. And my lungs appreciate it (home with pneumonia, but hey, at least I'm home with pneumonia, not in the hospital!)

Stay warm, TheLorax!

Pneumonia? I don't know how old you are but that's not good for an adult regardless of how old you are. However did you pick that up? Working too hard and getting run down?

Back to hummers . . . there's a species, Anna's that stays here year round and our feeders get visits more frequently now than in summer. However due to climate change <back on weather> we've had to bring the feeders in each evening of late due to cold.
