We purchased the feeder at Lowes back in July. There has been off and on traffic for a little while now, it increased tremendously over the last two weeks. Over the weekend there seemed to be a little fight over whose feeder it actually was. My hubby took some great photos of the handsome couple.
Two items of note. I switched the nectar to homemade, with no red dye. Secondly that is basil and yes I know you are supposed to deflower it! Just hadn't gotten around to it and I am glad that I hadn't as Harry (I think) really enjoyed it.
The kids and I have so enjoyed these birds. My four year old Emmett can actually distinguish between the male and female pretty accurately. We were both hanging out on the back porch and heard them flying around and chirping. It is breathtaking and a constant reminder of God's hand.
They must be getting used to use being around, when we approach the windows to look at them they are getting bolder by hanging around. Harry clearly was enamored by Emmett as he fluttered and hovered around the window as he was peering out watching him.
We are going to try and takes some more pictures of them close up. Hope you all enjoy!
On another note, my lovely hubby has graciously offered his unused office space to me So now I won't have to share my space with my two kids. As you can imagine I have been organizing and setting everything up eagerly! :-) Will post when I get it settled.
