Awesome! We're still waiting for our hummers to get backRirlshVol, Noni, Vol30
You guys were correct!! The lil Hummers are back on the Cumberland Plateau, wife and I are loving it! She makes a quart of sugar water almost every day to keep the feeders full.
I do think the cold spell we had here in early May changed a lot of things this year. But now we're sure enjoying watching them feed, sitting on the string of lights we've got around the deck and watching their flying acrobatics.
Done, thank you!!Download the Merlin bird app, its amazing. You can use your phone microphone to identify all of the birds around you. It will give you examples of the calls and also replay what it heard to identify it in your yard. As long as there are no chain saws or loud noises its extremely accurate.
It's an awesome app but be careful with it. Many different species within the same genus have similar songs and Merlin will not tell the difference between a local species and a species in a different area. Black capped chickadee and Carolina chickadee are an example. Northern Mockingbird birds are another. Northern Cardinals have about 30 different songs and some of them will confuse the app.Download the Merlin bird app, its amazing.

Yep, I’ve already seen this with my gardening apps (PictureThis, I’m looking at YOU )It's an awesome app but be careful with it.

I use the app daily so I'm not saying it's not a good app, but it does mess up. So learning the songs will always be best. That's the hardest part about birding lol
