Spring is in the air and so are the birds. The songs that great you so early in the morning are probably males, trying to attract a mate.

Leave out bits of string, cotton wool for nests and keep those feeders full and baths clean with fresh water.

For Georgians, be prepared for the hummingbirds returning from Mexico. Make sure your feeders are clean and your sugar water mixture is fresh. I start in the spring with one part sugar to three parts water, decreasing in a few weeks to four parts water.
