Backyard Field of Dreams


We get letters from you readers from time to time asking questions and/or making suggestions. Mitch from Holland writes: Where do you stand on hummingbirds? Great question, Mitch. Some people invest in hummingbird feeders, hoping to attract them to their backyard. Sometimes the birds show up, sometimes they don’t. You can’t count on them. Not at all. Often the feeder just fills up with bugs. Well, I’ve taken an unusual and sometimes unpopular stance with the hummingbird. I’ve decided that, yes, I will put out a hummingbird feeder, but only AFTER the hummingbird(s) start hanging around my deck. Why should I always have to take the initiative?

I will build it if they come.
