Activity has picked starting this past Sunday for my hummingbirds and it is
safe to say that those wishing to stop by to view hummingbirds are likely to
see some. Last May there was a day that I went through 300 ounces of nectar
in one day, though this year I would be surprised to see activity reach that
high because snow melt is quite a bit ahead of schedule. Though if we do
get a May snow storm (which is always likely) that will drive them back to
the feeders.. May is likely to be a busier time, with things slowing down
in June and picking back in July and August as the fledgings come out..



To get to my house, from Seattle, take I-90 Exit #54. Take a right,
immediately come to Hwy 906. Go straight. Come to a three way stop that is
generally ignored, but please do not ignore it. Go straight. Road will
curve to the left and down a hill. I will curve back right as the road
flattens out. My house is the third house on the right, a blue gray house,
with a fire hydrant teepee in front. The address is 571 Hyak Dr E. (Google
Maps may still have it as 69 E Hyak Drive, as the County changed the
numbering system). If travelling in one car, you may use the visitor
parking spot that is located on the left side of the driveway. If coming in
a larger group such as an Audubon Field Trip and parking on the side of the
road, please be cognizant of traffic. The speed limit is 20 mph which I
hope you will respect, but quite often there are others that will come by at
30-40 mph or more.



By popular request a Sugar Box has been placed behind the NWF sign near the
entrance of the path to the garden. Presently there is 6-12 inches of snow
which came during this last round of storms, a week ago last Saturday I was
actually doing garden as there was no snow. Usually the snow does not
completely melt to the end of May or so..



PRESENTATIONS - I am available to show my power point presentation, "How to
Attract Hummingbirds" to your group. Please contact me for additional
details.
