THEY'RE BACK!!!!! The female hummers and their young have arrived in the UP. It started as a trickle but now it seems there as many as I had last year. They finally usurped the bully male who owned our feeder and at times three can feed at once. The male photo was from last week the females were just this morning. A gray day so the resolution isn't too good but it shows their activity.

Many of the birds were here last year as they stopped at 2 places where we had additional feeders last year looking for the feeders. We are just running with the portable that can come in the house each night. They must remember all of the Nepeta and Monarda that we have here.

Still no butterflies, one Wood Satyr in the yard yesterday and I saw one Fritillary in the woods.
