 NB>> And have the chicks hatched yet...?

 MK> Not that I've seen.  I am predicting mid June before they show

Mid June would make sense...  

 MK> Also I haven't seen any humingbirds within the last couple of weeks,
 MK> male or female.  I am not sure this is a good or bad sign. 

Probably nothing to worry about... I'd guess they are tending the
nest... and not venturing out much... maybe more in the evening for
insects...?  I don't suppose you have one of those sugar water feeders
set out for them...?

 NB>> And hummingbirds are so tiny it's hard to see their nests
 NB>> anyway... 

 MK> From what I've seen of pictures of their nests they would indeed be
 MK> near impossible to spot, especially in the bush in question.  I
 MK> haven't seen any activity there since the male was doing it's mating
 MK> ritual way back when.  I am not sure if he decided to move on to
 MK> greener pastures, sort of speak. 

Or they just aren't making such a splash at the moment...

 NB>> and took at gander at the scotch selections

 MK> I haven't done that since checking out the price of the local
 MK> (Campbell River) single malt.  As you can see below there is plenty of
 MK> time. 

True... and I don't expect to need to actually purchase anything in the
meantime,. or even for... 

 NB>> there were 1.75 liter boxed bottles of Glenlivet 12, for a bit
 NB>> over $100...

 MK> The largest size they carry here is 750ml.  Given the size and
 MK> accounting for the exchange rate 100 USD sounds about right.  However
 MK> I agree with you about dropping that much at one time and would
 MK> probably stick to the 750ml size. Maybe this time I'll try the
 MK> Glenlivet Founders Reserve if the local store is carrying this time
 MK> around.  We'll see I am sure. 

I believe a friend of mine had occasion to try the Founders Reserve, and
wasn't particularly impressed with it...  And from reading the box, I
didn't see any reason to consider purchasing it, even in the future...
