July 2010

It seems that every summer hummingbirds make their way thru Tybee Island.  They actually can be here up until the end of October as they make their way  south.   I have so many birds that enjoy my bird bath here at Mermaid Manor, I decided to pick up a hummingbird feeder so they will hopefully stop and enjoy a sip of that bright red nectar. Quite the adventure making the nectar, but now the feeder is up and we’re just waiting for the birds to arrive! The feeder sits right outside my office window so I really hope to be able to keep my eyes open for the fun little birds!!!

There is an excellent website all about Georgia Hummingbirds that you should visit to see what you can do to encourage more of these birds to come and enjoy your yards.

Hopefully I’ll have some pictures to share of my newest visitors!

How cute is this guest!  He’s posing very happily at Star Cottage!  Here’s what his mom had to say:
“we just wanted to say that the star cottage was far more than what we expected! this was our first family vacation with our two boys and it was so lovely! fully stocked with everything we needed and more! quiet and private. a very at home feel! the beds were comfortable and the water was hot! my oldest son (3 years) has been asking to go back to the “beach house” every since we got back! he loves to tell everyone he had his own bed, and own TV (he slept out in the sun room on the daybed). it was clean, comfortable, and very well decorated! thanks so much for a lovely first trip to tybee island! ”

Thank you to the Cartin Family!  We look forward to welcoming you back to Tybee again soon!
