Finally! Hung a flowering pot where I usually have the feeder and got the first one at 7:15 tonight. I hung the feeder nearby and he checked it out too.
Jeff P. sent me a text earlier and said they saw their first one this morning.

Did we turn Jeff into a bird nerd? I didn’t think he did any hummingbird stuff.Jeff P. sent me a text earlier and said they saw their first one this morning.
I think so. He has two hummingbird feeders out and a bluebird house. Although, he is fighting sparrows taking over the bluebird house.Did we turn Jeff into a bird nerd? I didn’t think he did any hummingbird stuff.
I got tired of a dominant house sparrow running off a male bluebird and finally dispatched him with a pellet gun. But, I think I was too late. Bluebirds have not moved in to the house.We had a bluebird murder in one of our bluebird houses. At first I figured it was a house sparrow, but then I read that male bluebirds will fight over a female, and we have a breading pair in another bluebird house that I now realize is too close.
We have a lot of bird drama at our house.
Still haven't seen a hummer yet.
I need to do something different. I live in a neighborhood full of soccer moms. One or two shots from my RWS Diana pellet gun is about all I can do without drawing attention. I need a suppressor for my pellet guns.I've been using CCI quiet to keep my sparrow population down, but they keep coming.
