Today I saw three and they were at jewelweed and wild cucumber. At home in Port Williams at about six pm today there was a hummingbird also at jewel weed and wild cucumber. This was the best sighting because in the twenty one years I have lived here I have seen only three or four hummingbirds in my yard. I kept a feeder for them for five years when we first moved here but gave up after not having one appear. Maybe it is time to get another feeder?
