    Are green violet tree swallows are back, which means the humming birds are not far behind, my wife heard one towards the lake on her walk the other day, they are cool to watch, we get up to 15 or 20+ every year same as the tree swallows up to 5 pair.

    On the south end of the island there is a subspecies resident here all year round. But the first of the transients that I started seeing was about a month ago.

    Although the 12gu is effective on most sub species of humming bird a 10gu semi auto is the best all round choice for humming bird defence.

    My mother loved hummingbirds and even named our cabin after one. I always thought this to be a goofy name until she requested hummingbirds be etched on her tombstone. Now I love the name. Everytime a humming bird hovers close by I can' thelp thinking it's my mom just stopping to say hi.

    My Mom has them show up at her window around Apr. 10 every year. We call them her welfare bums. She can use 3 quarts of sugar water a day feeding them.
