I don't normaly post feeder shots but no one would believe me if I don't get a picture to prove it. This female went to the nut feeder at least three times during the day to poke at the nuts or eat them. She seemed more interested in them then the nectar feeder. Never seen this type of behaviour before. Isle lake Alberta

I put out a hummingbird feeder every Spring and every late summer, hoping that the hummingbird will find it :-)

This male wasted no time starting to feed on our Vermillion flowers still in the pot before we even had a chance to transplant in our garden. Isle Lake Alberta
