Sorry I have been out of commission lately, but with spring nearing it's time to start posting again!!
I always think of spring and think of eastern phoebes, eastern wood pee wees, Tree and Barn Swallows, Baltimore orioles, and Ruby throated hummingbirds!
Here in the next month or so people should start putting out their hummingbird feeders or planting their flowers that attract hummingbirds to your flower beds! Seeing a hummingbird is such a blessing! Such a aero dynamic and beautiful bird!
Here are some cool facts about the Ruby Throated Hummingbird:
-Their breeding season starts in April and the female makes a small nest out of spider webs and other materials! She lays eggs that are the size of a pea!
-During migration they will follow the abundance of flowers all the way to their destination to be able to provide proper nutrients through their travels!
-They can fly so fast, within a blink of an eye they are gone! They fly just as fast backwards as they do forward, and they are known to be able to hover in a certain position for a short period of time!
Hope this makes you get spring fever like it does me, even though there is snow on the ground, spring is just around the corner ;)!
Have a blessed day!
