alight's hummingbirds

I have been feeding hummingbirds for years. This year I got a new feeder and started mixing up my own nectar. I use 3 parts water and 1 part sugar. They like it! I go through a quart and one half each day. Kind of gets a little on the expensive side but they are worth it. I so enjoy watching them. They are so use to me that I can sit down right beside the feeder and they come back in flocks.

It is getting late in the season and now they are feeding more in preparation for their long flight south. I know I have at least 15, probably more. I also have another feeded over to one side.

Davis Homegrown Triathlon 2010

I put some pictures together of a triathlon that my family put on this July. It was way more work than I expected but worth it all. Will I ever do it again? We will see.
