Hummingbird migration is upon us. For those of us on the gulf coast, our first hummers should arrive either at the end of February or early March. So dust off your feeders - I put my feeders up today. We have had such a mild winter that some perennials are still blooming. My blooming hummingbird inventory includes lantana, various citrus, bottlebrush and red salvia. Attached are two pictures from last fall - a juvie male with his gorget beginning to show and a funny shot of a hummer tongue.
