Taxes and Bird Feeders

Kevin put up two bird feeders a couple of weeks ago, preparing for our feathered friends to visit. Last summer we had a Ruby-Throated Hummingbird who happily found our feeder, and we are hoping to see him/her again. In Seattle, Anna's Hummingbirds stick around all year, however it's obviously too cold for that nonsense here in Michigan. We learned that in Mid-Michigan, two things happen by April 15th, you pay your taxes, and you put out a hummingbird feeder. Not knowing that this was the suggested rule for birders, we intuited this might be the case and we were right on time! No sightings yet, but we are ready and changing our sugar water every few days.
