Activity is somewhere around 30 ounces of nectar per day. If you stop by
you will likely see some activity. I expect it to get busier in a week or
so.



What to expect: You will most see Rufous Males and Rufous Females. Black
Chin, Calliopes, and Anna's are usually seen about once a year or so.



The best time to see the most activity is just before sun set. Cold weather
and wet weather tends to drive the birds to the feeders, many of which are
protected from the inclement weather.



Flowers in bloom: Davidson's Penstemon is finishing its bloom (below the
left side of my deck) Indian Paint Brush and Lupine are really starting to
bloom -- There is even one White Lupine flower!. Some Penstemon should not
be too far behind.. There are other flowers such as Alpine Daisy that are
blooming and some others such as Canadian Goldenrod, Columbine, and Fireweed
will hopefully be coming around soon..



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.



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