Life is getting wild in Mountain City

By Pauline Tom

Susie Way tidbitted that they have frequently seen finches drinking from their hummingbird feeders. She said, “The hummers have pretty much moved on, so we just now took down the hummer feeders and enjoy birds landing on their own feeders with seed.”

Now, isn’t that interesting, how we can live in different worlds in Mountain City? For me, the hummers still visit each day.  Their numbers are down, but they’re still zooming around our yard. Most have moved northward for breeding season. Those who remain have flowers and insects galore for their food supply.
