The hummingbirds waited until Joey was out of town to show themselves in Gloucester yesterday! I have some new tools in the hummingbird arsenal this year….the usual red glass feeder in addition to mini-suction cup style feeders (a gift from my neighbor!) AND a red tube horizontal feeder. This is my set-up. It appears to have worked since I observed at least 2 feisty hummingbirds, one even chasing away one of the bigger birds. We also saw the Baltimore Oriole yesterday, so it’s well and truly official that we are DONE with winter.
