The Hummingbirds are here!

If you dont have hummingbirds yet this year you soon will! Check out the map link below to see if the hummer are being reported close to you! Our feeder went out just a few days ago, we should have put it up sooner. This years plants are doing well and should be out in a few weeks.

Our Cuphea Ignea plants didnt do well this winter, by the first of March I had two still in water. They were doing fine until I planted them, they both died in just a few days. The wife has a couple at work and they were doing ok. I hope to be able to take cuttings from these plants but that may not be in time for the hummers. Its looking like a trip to Ohio for another batch of Cuphea Ignea plants this year!

Interesting reading.

Last season was a bust! I found employment in West Lafayette and moved five times in nine months. The Cuphea Ignea plants did well but I didnt have much time to spend on the blog or with the hummingbirds.

This year I'm kind of back in the same boat, unemployed sending out resumes in about 100 mile radius so who knows where I will wind up this year?!?! I will try to keep things going on this blog and the new one I just started  last week, Indiana Raptor Watch.

I came across this posting on one of the other pages that I follow. Its about hummingbirds so I though somebody reading this blog might be interested.
