First Bird

The first hummingbird of 2007 was spotted in southern Louisiana yesterday. They usually show up in Peola Valley on April 15. You can follow their trip north on this web site. If you have never feed hummers and want to give it a try I suggest that you have some sugar water out when they first arrive, that way you will let them know this is a good place to check out everyday.

If you need a feeder I'll be happy to make one up for you. You can go to my pottery web site for information.

Another sign of spring, yesterday a number of "v's" of geese were headed north over Peola Valley at 9:30am. Probably about 400 birds. That sound of geese at a few thousand feet is a wonderful sound.
