We have 3 feeders now. One is hanging off the edge of the porch roof. They come close to feed and aren't too shy.
I'm going to try to get them to hand feed and have been reading about it on line. Gene and I were sitting out on the front porch this evening and there at least 6 hummingbirds zooming all around us...it makes us laugh and they make neat little noises.
Hand feeding would be SO exciting!! Stay tuned.
Gene was in San Antonio from Tuesday until Friday. He saw his mom twice and she was very happy to have him visit. His seminars were dumb and boring as usual. He is glad to be home.
The city is doing alot of advertising on the radio and newspaper regarding rabies. Pecos hasn't had an outbreak like this in decades. People are trying to trap the hundreds of feral cats....and we seem to have alot of skunks. Rabies clinics are being set up for pets...cats-n-dogs.
The continuing saga of stupid junkies:
I think there are alot of crack-heads and meth lab idiots around here.
CRIMESTOPPERS WORKS! At least it did this time. There have been 3 arrests made in the Needleworks burglary. We have recovered a portion of the $5,000. in merchandise that was stolen.
Another Crimestoppers search is for somebody who stole 200 PS3 and Wii games from Movie Gallery...it wasn't a break in.
Last Sunday night somebody tried to break into the museum!!! They broke the window in the front of the saloon but couldn't get in...so they took the time and trouble to climb up on the balcony out front and broke a window there but still couldn't get in. The museum has an alarm but unless the building is actually entered it won't go off.
So the burglars went across the street and broke into Brownlee Hardware and stole stuff and made a big mess. Poor Mr. Brownlee! That store has been there for over 100 years!
The swallows are here....they must've known Gene was out of town. I bet that they had nests on our front porch for years and years until Gene chased them off. They were flying in and out and all around the porch...but then went elsewhere. Spring is really here!

That's pretty cool Mari. We've seen them Thick as Bees in Rockport during the Hummingbird Festival in September. He catch them in nets, band them and let them go. They spoke of hand feeding them there too.

Well, dang ..... I'm glad that SOME part of the law enforcement is working .... we'd hate to call THE Rangers!
