Same here on the hummingbirds. We had one male and 2 females early, then saw less and less of them. We see one at a time at the feeder, once or twice a day (that we know of). Seems strange---we miss all the usual activity in Varina. We do have lots of flowers blooming so there's other food. And a Carolina wren has 3 babies in her nest in the hanging fushia basket. Scads of worms in the garden so I'm sure they will be well fed. > [Original Message] > From: Kathy Kreutzer <k-kreutzer@xxxxxxxxxxx> > To: <va-richmond-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> > Date: 5/25/2005 8:17:11 PM > Subject: [va-richmond-general] Re: Hummingbirds > > Hi there, it is funny, I was just thinking about this, this week.
