I think that makes it more fun and more interesting to see the same birds and families each year!

I have hummingbird feeders, and I really enjoy watching the hummingbirds while I stand at my kitchen sink and do dishes. I discovered that they do head to Central America for the winter, but they will return to the same place year after year. I expect them to start slowly showing up any day now. I have seen the same hummingbirds for several years, and I can recognize them by their markings.

Isn’t nature wonderful?
