It's Hummingbird Season!

Last Friday (April 24th) I saw our first Ruby-throated Hummingbirds of the season at our backyard feeders!





These tiny migrants travel from Mexico and points south to enjoy the sugar water in our feeders as well as breeding in our area. Hummingbird feeders are inexpensive and you can make your own sugar water by dissolving 1 part sugar to four parts water. Keep the extra sugar water in the fridge and please change the water in the feeders every 2-3 days depending on the weather, if it's sunny and hot change the water more frequently.




So, attract these cuties with a little effort for a lot of reward!
