In light of how cold it has been lately, let’s talk about something other than how we don’t need any fat burners in this cold. Let’s talk about something a little warmer. It is mid-January after all. Soon we will be looking toward spring and the array of birds it brings back. I was thinking of hummers. This side of the Rockies we only see the ruby-throated hummingbirds. These little gems are a big backyard attraction for many folks. They are territorial and can provide lots of entertainment for us humans.
