Just put my feeder out this morning. Hope the little critters find it!

The hummers love it. But you have to make sure it doesn't ferment! Had one little guy drink & drink. All of the sudden his head falls over to the right. He popped back up in a minute or so and did it all over again! Took me a few to realize that the nectar had fermented and he was drunk!

It's a little early to prepare for hummers but you never know with the crazy weather.
They have started the migration, here is a great map that is updated daily-

I used to have hummingbird feeders. I felt like I was chumming for my cats so I took them down. They never actually got one, but it was close a few times. I didn't know cats could jump that high straight up!

I have hummingbirds 9-10 months of the year. Why they leave in Feb I have no idea. Of course, this is California. . .
