Hummingbirds

My daffodils should be opening today. They got delayed by a shot of cold air yesterday. But it supposed to be more springlike today.

The hummers have been spotted in North Carolina, so it is time to put out the feeder. (Especially since there was no chance of frost today.) There might be some swift flyers, and the weather is supposed to be gorgeous today.

This is the new feeder I got for Christmas. This should be bee proof. There is an internal tray that is far enough inside that it takes long tongues to reach. I'll still need to figure out an ant moat though.

Hm, put something smelly on the chain/string the feeder hangs from? Something that ants find stinky and disgusting? Ants are scent centred so it's worth a shot.

Happy gardening!
