Hummer House, Christoval We are at The Hummer House and staying in one of their cottages and loving it! We came last year too and had to schedule a year in advance to get a date inbetween Spring and Fall Migration that worked with our schedule, but I noticed that they have open dates. We go out before sunup to enjoy the cool temp in the morning and are comfortable until 1 pm. We then go back out in the evenings. I'm actually cold in the morning! Anyway, the stars are the amazing birds they have and I think Painted Buntings are in close competition to all the hummers. Make sure you check out Stockpen Crossing in Menard for more amazing birds. We had a Mississippi Kite on our way here and there is also a famous cafe named after a grass.
