Hummingbird Update! We now have about four baby hummers! Yay!
Welcome to the Walker Family’s website, devoted to glorifying God and His Grace in everyday life. Today, we want to glorify God for His creation of hummingbirds. On our deck, we have a hummingbird feeder. There are at least two pairs of the Ruby-Throated variety that migrate to our area yearly. Each hummer is very protective of the feeder and wants it all to his or herself. We often see them dive-bombing each other over possession of the feeder. On occasion, we will see two or three of the characters drinking from the feeder, but this is rare. Usually it is only one hummer drinking until one of the other hummers scare him or her off, so they can get a drink.
Hummingbirds are not as afraid of humans as other birds. We can sit out on the deck and the hummers will fly and dash around the feeder, obliviousto us. Sometimes they will curiously hum about us, or we get caught in the crossfire of their dive-bombing each other for a drink at the feeder.
I thank God for our hummingbirds. They bring joy to my life.
“Always be full of joy in the Lord, I say it again, rejoice!” Philippians 4:4 (NLT)
Do you have a hummingbird feeder? We would love to hear about your hummers!
