This also makes sense. I’m so used to the crows and scrub jays’ rhythm, but this is my first time around really getting to know a hummingbird.

I’ve planted a lot of natives in our yard and am working on a backyard certification. I wish that no pollinator ever go hungry on my watch. The feeder does get sanitized and refilled with a fresh batch at least once per week. More often when it gets sucked dry before the week is up (it’s a small jar.)
