Hummingbird Reminder

It is time to think about getting those hummingbird feeders up and start enjoying these scrappy little guys. We prepare the hummingbird solution by using 1 part sugar to four parts water. I do not use red dye to attract these birds. It seems they can find the food without introducing the red color into their diet.

I have never seen a hummingbird nest. That is one of my quests. There is a great You Tube video that follows the development of hummingbirds. Check it out at
