alight's hummingbirds



I have been feeding hummingbirds for years. This year I got a new feeder and started mixing up my own nectar. I use 3 parts water and 1 part sugar. They like it! I go through a quart and one half each day. Kind of gets a little on the expensive side but they are worth it. I so enjoy watching them. They are so use to me that I can sit down right beside the feeder and they come back in flocks.

It is getting late in the season and now they are feeding more in preparation for their long flight south. I know I have at least 15, probably more. I also have another feeded over to one side.
