Try the HumZinger feeders, Kell, they're great and super easy to clean. Please don't use dyed feed, just plain, clear sugar water 4:1 boiled water to sugar is the recommended solution. I never fill my feeders very much at all, the hummies are so little, they hardly put a dent in it before I change it at 3-day intervals.

I love to watch the migration maps in the spring, people report sightings all over the country as they make their ways north.

If you see a very dark, almost black hood, there's your male. The female has a lighter, almost white collar with a brighter hood (this goes to ruby throats that only come through the midwest/eastern part of the continent).
