Hummingbird season :)

Did you know that the next couple of months are the best opportunities to see hummingbirds? Adult hummingbirds are now joined by a horde of juvenilles as they head south to Central America and their winter territories, some traveling thousands of miles.
It's estimated that more than seven million Ruby-throated Hummingbirds return to the tropics each winter, along with six million Rufous, three million Broad-tailed, and millions of other individuals of various hummingbird species.
In route to their destination, hummingbirds will take part in an eating binge that is unmatched at any other time of the year.
Perfect time to have breakfast on our back porch and enjoy the hummingbirds. Jimmy continues to keep out feeders full!
