Ruby-Throated Hummingbird

[Brenda]

It's that time!!! Get the feeders cleaned and hung! I just fill the sink with hot water, add some Dawn and a touch of bleach. I use a bottle brush to clean the jars and the feeding holes, and rinse well with hot water. The recipe is just 4 parts water to one part sugar--bring to a boil and cool completely before filling the feeders. Or, you can just buy the nectar!

I just had my first visitor! A male was at the feeder on my office porch!

Ha--that's great! I was expecting to see a teeny tiny little hat for a hummingbird to wear!

[Brenda]

It's that time folks! I've not seen any yet, but I've had my feeders up for about a week now as a pit stop for the ones traveling north.

[Matt]

ok
Thanks for the reminder. I'll see if I can find my feeder. I have the new long lens, I may as well try to use it.

Just put one up and now we'll wait and see. It's a yearly contest in our home to see who spots that first Hummingbird.
