Not just the filing deadline for the IRS, it's the date here in my neck of Pennsylvania the hummingbird feeders should be filled and hung. Anyone else enjoy watching them?

 
One of our favorite pastimes! Janet and I enjoy watching these guys. VERY territorial and they can be really fierce. Ours will be going up soon.
 
We can watch them most of the year. They really liked my overgrown passion flower vines but a really cold snow storm killed it this winter. Hopefully our lemon tree and pomegranate trees will flower soon so they should be back. Israel happens to be a fantastic place for bird watching since we are on the main path between Europe and Africa so all the seasonal birds appear migrate past us twice a year.
 
Don't forget the Butterflies. The San Diego Wild Animal Park opened its Butterfly Exhibit a few days ago. You walk around in this huge cage with a large assortment of the creatures.
If you wear bright colored clothing they will land on your shoulder if you stand still. It is a fun experience.
 
I'm amazed how many winter-over... like this (outside our bedroom window last December in the snow):

Once had a cat that enjoyed eating them. I haven't hung up hummingbird feeders since.
 
Hey Jay...Did you make these feeders? what are the tubes and stoppers? Looks like large test tubes but how do the stoppers work? Just a fairly large hole?
 
Wife has Humming bird feeders outside one of the kitchen windows and we watch them from the table all the time. They haven't arrived here yet, but probably within two to three weeks. PJ
