Birdfeeders

When I was just a little boy, I used to visit my grandma’s house and admire all the hummingbirds buzzing about outside her window.  Grandma had a great collection of window hummingbird feeders that she had acquired over the years, and several dozen hummingbirds took up residence in her yard.  I loved watching the little birds hover around, sipping the nectar, and then bustle away to their nests or elsewhere.  Grandma even showed me how to watch for the hummingbird’s long tongue lapping the sugar water.

Now that I’m all grown, I have a place of my own, though it’s just an apartment.  However, I do have a deck, and I put a window hummingbird feeder outside the kitchen window.  While I don’t have nearly the amount of hummingbirds grandma does, I do have a few customers now and then, and I still love to watch them!
