Flight Attendant
Dana Sternadel and her husband moved from El Campo to La Grange this year and are really enjoying this area and the nature of their Forest Hills East neighborhood. “My yard has been full of hummingbirds the past few weeks. As with so many birds, hummingbirds don’t come close to people, but one morning I stood still enough for long enough time so that a few birds ate from the feeder I held in my hands; some even stood on my fingers; that was a neat experience. We had so many birds that, at the peak of their visit, they would “eat” 94 oz. of nectar each day,” she said. Photo courtesy of Dana Sternadel
