Our little migratory friends have started to feed in with gusto. We have seen three different species with most individuals being male. Some have serious attitudes and stake their sugary claim in hopes to chase of all competitors.
We have four different feeding stations and are planning on putting up a few more. Lynne has been attracting the hummers for about 5 years. It seems like every year we get more coming to our humble synthetic flower station. Lynne used a 2:1 water/sugar solution.
Once you get them coming you will need to budget for granulated sugar. They are ferocious glucose monsters.
Watching the birds is memorizing and stress reducing. Give it a try.
It is amazing how many humming birds you guys have at your house! They are fun to watch !
