I just stumbled upon this little tidbit with it being the 1st Saturday in September. I was enjoying breakfast early this morning on my back deck and I thought those hummingbirds sure were active. I think I need to go now and replenish their nectar feeder with fresh nectar. If you should see a hummingbird or 2 today show kindness towards them ok and let them dance for you. They Truly are a delight to observe. Apparently, this celebration originated in 1996 by a birding enthusiast, Penny Elliston. Oh, my hummingbird visitors don't just rely on the nectar feeders, I also grow flowers in planters that hang from a shepherd's hook, and they do like the nectar from the flowers. I will wait until the hummingbirds take flight to the south for the Winter before I trim back those plants for the season, they like the honeysuckle blooms and a few others, but I do not know their names. I get a packet of seeds from Sprouts Market that are a mixture that attracts hummingbirds. I have found that brand they carry in seed packets is excellent. I have also purchased their parsley, dill and chive seed packets also and they produce when I plant them in little herb planters.
