We've lived here for 21 years and have only seen the occasional hummingbird fly through the yard. When we moved here we put our feeders out because we had all kinds of Hummingbirds in Colorado. But we no sooner had them out about 2 days and the ants found them in droves! So we took them down and didn't put them back up.
However, one of my friends and neighbors inspired me!
I saw a humming bird perched on a tiny branch outside my kitchen window the other day. I thought about hanging my feeder, but didn't. Then I saw a video he posted on Facebook of a humming bird at his feeder. Yvonne saw it too and told me about it. So we decided that if we have that much humming bird activity in our neighborhood we need to put out our feeders too! So this afternoon I put up a bird feeder hanger I had laying around, and hung my first humming bird feeder from it. Yvonne prepared the sugar solution. Now we wait and see what happens. Next we just have to figure out where to hang the second feeder we have.
