Have your hummingbirds stuck around?

1 Answer

Answer :

answer:Our humming birds don’t stick around all year because it gets very cold in the winter. They first appeared in July and they are still around. I’m refilling the feeder almost weekly. My daughter took this photo from our living room window on August 30th. I’m so thankful that we don’t have a wasp problem. I don’t know how to help with that. Sorry.
