Ruby-throated Hummingbirds at their feeders this week.  Many of them are just passing through on their way to breeding territories further north.  If you are lucky enough to have Ruby-throats in May and June, you probably have them nesting in or close to your yard!

It's a tough world for hummingbirds.  They have to migrate hundreds or even thousands of miles and face many obstacles such as weather, glass windows, predators and lack of food or suitable habitat.  Your hummingbird feeder filled with clean, fresh nectar and your garden full of flowers and tiny insects will provide a safe stop on their harrowing journey!
