Late Hummingbirds at feeder
Enjoy your podcast so much. I too have had some surprise hummingbirds this past weekend. I keep changing the nectar in my last two feeders I have kept out. I shout through the window. “Head south little one, frost is coming”
Wit, wisdom and vast knowledge of the avian world make this woman a must hear!
Thank you for airing Laura over the years!
It’s a pleasure
Really enjoy this as a supplement to my daily bird watching on my feeders.
