Abuelo and I are watering our flower seedlings Can we move them outside yet I ask him My grandfather smiles Not until it’s warmer Javier Spring will be here soon Just then I see something flit past the window Did you see that I ask 3
Sí Abuelo replies I did We stare out the window as a tiny bird zips into view It hovers in the air Then it rockets away A hummingbird I call out 4
He’s a little bit early Abuelo says We see hummingbirds in our yard every spring and summer They fly up from the south as the weather warms up Then when autumn arrives they fly south again 5
