6:53 AM, cool in Michigan this morning, less than 45 degrees, no breeze, hummingbird habitat is busy--with males and females. Warm nectar is served--there is a bear in the woods, so all hummingbird feeders are washed and placed in the garage at night, and repositioned in the habitat at day break. Mass plantings of natural nectar--Black & Blue Salvia, Salvia Hot Lips, Salvia Van Hooten, Cleone, Flowering Tobacco, Dicentria Scandens, Dicentria Luxuriant, Obedient Plants, Cardinal Flowers, Blue Lobelia, Cuphea, Fuschia Billy Green, Phlox, Spider Flowers, Begonias. Black & Blue Salvia is their favorite, and provides a rich nectar for our small winged friends--whose profiles become a little larger, everyday, as they prepare for migration.
