Welcome hummers!

It’s very good to see hummingbirds again. We’ve had a variety of ruby-throats at the feeder lately. Remember, when keeping feeders, clean them regularly. In this heat, change the nectar every two or three days. Do not use the colored nectar or premixed nectar. Make your own: 1/4 cup of good sugar to one cup boiling water. Let it cool and that is all there is to it. Click on pictures to enlarge.
