They're Here! Humming Bird Update.
The Humming Birds are across the US now and also into Canada!
So, now that they sre here, how do we attract them, and what do we feed them to keep them around?!
One good way to enjoy the company of hummingbirds is planting a hummingbird garden. In addition to providing them a natural diet, a hummer garden is an excellent way to attract birds to your nearby feeder: since hummingbirds feed by sight on regularly-followed routes - called traplining - their inquisitive nature will quickly lead them to investigate any possible new source of food.
One of the many plants to use in your Humming Bird Garden.

Hummingbirds get the energy they need to maintain their astonishing metabolism primarily from flower nectar and the sugar water they find at feeders. Click Here for info on Feeders, and a recipe for nectar.
