More Snow
The snow just keeps on coming, weather people say that another dump is due sometime during the night so it’s a walk to work for me tomorrow, I need the exercise anyways 
Turns out there is not one, but a pair of hummingbirds trying to make it through the winter and they are still hanging in there. Broke my feeder yesterday bringing it inside to thaw out, the frozen plastic was brittle as candy glass and shattered when I picked it up. Lucky there’s another one on the other side of the house that I put some fresh nectar in and it’s now where mine was. Amazing those two little guys are making it, there can’t be many insects around for them to eat so not sure what they are surviving on besides my sugar water and all the web sites I’ve looked at don’t recommend any other type of feed for them. Hmm, maybe a Google on hummingbirds+winter+feed… off I go surfing!
Bingo! Dr. Reed Hainsworth and Dr. Larry Wolf are Professors of Biology at Syracuse University in New York. They have been studying hummingbird physiology and ecology for 25 years in the United States and tropical America. And they have some of their findings online at: http://www.hummingbirds.net/hainsworth.html, from the sounds of it giving them a healthy dose of nectar each day just might get them through it, stay tuned!
