Well, somewhat earlier than we expected, Meredith saw her first hummingbird. We had a great time watching these little guys last year, especially when they would chase each other around the feeder, and in and out of the trees over the garden.

The photograph was taken with my Canon S30 point and shoot, which is why I couldn’t get zoomed in far enough to get a decent picture. Hopefully this year, with some better equipment, I should be able to get some better shots.

Here’s a great little hummingbird page, put up by Donald Berger. It has the expected dates for hummingbirds in Houston, suggested plants and flowers and feeding tips.
