Where are my hummers?Ruby-throats nest during May, June and early July, so don't expect to see many at your feeders until about mid-July. Unless you live in a rural area and are lucky enough to have several nesting hummingbirds, it is normal to have little activity at feeders right now. Keep your feeders clean and fresh for the occasional visitor, be patient, and you will see a lot more hummers after July 4th!  A Reminder...Please watch for ducks, geese, turtles, snakes and other critters crossing roads. Females are looking for sites to lay eggs and/or to move young to safety this time of year. Just last week we saw three snakes and a snapping turtle crossing busy streets. There was even a black rat snake climbing our sign at the Buford store! |
