Just a reminder that most areas should be seeing some hummingbird activity. With the odd spring we have been having, I am surprised to see them show up on time. I hung up a couple of feeders yesterday and they were visited in less than 5 minutes. I’ll have to get out the rest of the feeders today and some more nectar made later.
Reminder that to make hummingbird food, it is 4 parts water to 1 part granulated sugar. Do not use brown sugar or honey, and please do NOT use red food coloring. Bring the water and sugar to a boil and boil a couple of minutes and then allow to cool completely before filling the feeders.
It’s overcast here this morning with rain predicted later, I’ll try and capture a pic or two if the weather and time allows.
Always look forward to the arrival of the hummingbirds…
Calling for rain the next couple of days, so it’s curl up on the sofa and read for me…
We are suppose to get several days of rain, but the last couple of times it was forecast, it was only overcast with nary a sprinkle.
I haven’t put anything out here as of yet. I might not if I don’t get out of the mood I’m in lately. Do you have feeders out? I bought one on Etsy several years ago and it’s so easy to fill. I only put out a cup or so, a day that way I can change it about every 3cdays for freshness and it isn’t wasted. It’s under my porch and protected from the afternoon sun.
I put out two feeders, I usually put out four and I will get the rest out soon. I have mine on the north side near a patio so I can enjoy watching them in the evening.
