But You Promised!

Informed the hummingbirds would be arriving to our part of the world on March 1, I rushed out and bought a feeder. I hung it on the 29th, just to be on the safe side. And now I wait. And wait.

Where are the hummingbirds? Did they stop off at a friend’s? Were they blown off course and are just now arriving at a place where they are not expected?

Or are hummingbirds the new WMD: just an idle threat to get me to buy something?
