When I lived in the deep south as a child we watched them each summer as they hovered around our flowers on our big screen porch. What a wonderful memory this picture brings back.

Aren't they magnifiscent? Glad you gave the tips about the nectar too--I always see the red type, but as you say, why risk it? I always feel like the cat that stole the canary when I get a glimpse of hummingbirds. (p.s. I'm a DAISIE) Thanks for the pic, AJ. Aren’t they magnifiscent? Glad you gave the tips

I have had a couple of humming birds come by and managed to get a photo of one, but it was long ago, and before Digital - so it's somewhere in amongst all those printed photos that I have in drawers and boxes. And I admit to not being very organized and/or making the time to put memorable photos in albums. What a wonderful photo!! Thank you for sharing and for the recipe.

When the baby was between 10 and 12 days old, the mother failed to return to feed the baby in the evening and the next morning. I contacted a lady who cares for hummers and on her advise took the baby to her. The weather was rainy and windy and the baby had no protected from the eliments. Unfortunately, the baby was too weak and cold to take nourishment and passed away during the night. It saddened me deeply as I thoroughly enjoy watching the the hummers. The advice you posted is absolutely correct, except I've been advised to boil the tap water then add the sugar and stir until dissolved. Thanks for the information you provided. (I had always heard that too, but this information was provided by a hummingbird specialist. I have not boiled the water now for 3 years and have had no problems. It certainly wouldn't hurt to boil it, just for some people it takes more time which means that they may not decide to have a feeder. Thanks for sharing your story!

Thanks for the tips AJ - it's about time to get my feeders out as the wild columbine is now in bloom and that's the time we start to see these little guys.

I get a hummingbird once or twice every couple years. If I remember right I caught it on my camera video last time. Not sure what hard drive it is on now though. When you are ready to post video you can give a shout if you need help. I have video on one of my websites. Great picture. I get a hummingbird once or twice every couple years.
