Yes, two weeks earlier than last year, this hummingbird has been seen in our area. For those who have not set up a feeder in the past, this is a great way to enjoy this bird not only in the spring, but also throughout the summer months.
Purchasing a feeder is an inexpensive endeavor. For less than $15.00, you can find a hummingbird feeder at Lowes, Home Depot, or on line.
It is very easy to make hummingbird food which is known as nectar. The ingredients are water and sugar. Boil 4 parts water. Add 1 part sugar, still until the sugar is dissolved.
When this mixture cools, add to your feeder and store the remains in your refrigerator for 1 week.
Hummingbirds love the color red and many people hang red ribbon from their feeder to help invite the hummingbird to their yards.
Happy bird watching !!!!!
