@Whiskybear I am so sorry to hear that, but I hope you are able to still visit and enjoy one anothers company. Maybe you will be able to take some photos and videos of the hummingbirds to show her! Let us know if you need any info on making nectar or attracting them to the feeder- best of luck

I wanted to stop by and say our first Ruby-throated of the year came today. @Blooie wherever you are I hope you are doing well today. I was thinking of how you told me about putting out the little red bandana and I swear it is always lucky!

Hi @Whiskybear I just made it back to this thread after not being on BYC for a bit and saw your post. I hope your Grandmother is doing okay? It is kind of you to have been taking care of her firstly! The hummingbirds are most definitely like this, very strong personalities and they are keen to...

Haven't updated in awhile but we have hummers! At least a few males and a female now!

Still no hummers here! Oh man

No hummers here yet this year but expect them any day now. Lots of spottings in FL, GA, MS, LA, TX, AL, and some in SC and NC now too.

Oh awesome thank you! My Canon did not come with a lens but I am trying to find out which one I will get this year

@CaliforniaMountainChicks - I am in LOVE with those photos, great quality! What camera and lens do you use?

@rosemarythyme lucky lucky! What species do you get?

Hey everyone, who is ready for hummer season!

Here's a quick short video of one resident hummer being a bully. I didn't know she'd pack a punch this hard while I was sitting 1ft away from the feeder!

Love seeing these clear nectar feeders - way to go if you're making your own! :) Love seeing photos of everyone else's hummies

Hey there @Blooie how is it in Hummingbird Haven? We're getting migrators now - are you pretty busy or are they starting to peel off?

@WVduckchick - Oh I am so glad you had a chance to watch it, I appreciate you considering it to be very honest. I have heard of people doing that before but the more I read into it and learned, I definitely am glad to have switched to making my own nectar clear and free. They will definitely use...

Blooie, how are you and your hummers today?

@WVduckchick - So nice to hear you are seeing hummingbirds in your parts! I sure love seeing photos of other hummies out and about. I saw your feeder and wanted to share something with you. A lot of people still don't realize red dyes could do harm to the hummers, though to be honest I always...

Love to hear that so many people were inspired and feeding hummers after that, how lovely. I love the honeybirds name, and also just want to say thanks for mentioning putting red out on the clothesline years back! I tied my red bandana out that year and they showed up the next day. Since then, I...

@Blooie Oh I am just so happy for you! I am so glad they showed up, I know you were worried :hugs

@MamaSug - if you don't have luck with the ant moats and they keep going dry, try the repellant based ones. I got a set of them this year and love them. not a single ant in the feeder locations that have them since putting out. Perky Pet Ant Guards @Blooie - so sorry to hear you haven't...

Try putting a shallow dish nearby with some little pebbles in it and a bit of water. Sometimes bees are simply seeking water to help thin the honey and cool the hive from what I’ve learned, and also try having some bee friendly plants around too. We’ve been leaving the Creeping Charlie to grow...
