IT’S A BIG YEAR for hummingbirds at the Nuthatch cabin’s feeder. I’ve needed to refill it almost daily. Working in my kitchen, I’m frequently alerted to their visits when my ear senses the thrumming of wings beating more than 50 times per second outside my window.
Some sip on the fly.Others make a coffee klatsch of their visit.As with many species, some are brighter than others.
A former travel and outdoors editor at The Seattle Times, I'm now exploring Washington's San Juan Islands on my classic runabout and trying not to smash my fingers with the hammer while I fix up my island cabin.

Love those hummers! Two juncos are completing a nest construction project under our upper deck today – so wonderful to have them like our home, too.
