    Time to put up hummingbird feeders and to put a little research into the bird...

    1. A hummingbird's heart beats up to 1,260 times a minute
    2. Hummingbirds have excellent memories and can come back to the same feeders every year
    3. Male hummingbirds can travel more than 1,000 miles without taking a single break.
    4. Have the intelligence to build nice nests
    5. Having only brains about the size of a grain of rice,

    I am getting my hummingbird feeders ready now! Believing these little creatures were designed by the creative power of God!

    Consider the ravens: for they neither sow nor reap; which neither have storehouse nor barn; and God feedeth them: how much more are ye better than the fowls? - Luke 12:24

    My wife and I moved into a farmland area near Lancaster PA in late February.
    We see small, teacup sized nests in the trees around the area. I presume they are hummingbird nests.

    Hummingbirds arrived at my place mid-April. I have already filled my feeder twice and am hoping for better pictures...
