    Arriving Soon!

    Hopefully the hummingbirds will be back to our area soon. In anticipation of this I have been building my inventory of feeders. These are examples of some of the latest.

    Thanks guys. I've cut the hanger part of the top but this is what the insert looks like.

    The first three showed up today here in tidewater VA. In the fifteen years that we have been feeding them they have never missed the 15th of April by more than a couple of days. We put out the feeders when we file our taxes. Their timing is uncanny.

    Thanks Ryan. The hole for the insert was drilled using a sawtooth bit and an extension.

    Very neat. I need to hurry up and order some of these kits. With the weather we've been having around here, I wouldn't be surprised to see some of those little guys flying around tomorrow.

    That really is cool! Where did you purchase the feeder kit for the insert?

    Thanks everyone for the positive comments.

    I purchased the feeders from Wayfair.com but you can get a better deal at amazon.com. Unfortunately they wouldn't ship them to Canada.

    The feeders are the Perky Pet 215P hanger basket feeder.

    Great idea Michael! I put my feeders up a couple of weeks ago but have not seen any yet.
