I Wish I’d Thought of This Sooner

Early this summer, I decided to make a full pitcher of sugar water for our many ruby throated hummingbirds. What a time saver!
A quick search showed this from Pinterest, which is surely faked...
The males mate and then bail on the mother...

Why didn’t I think of this sooner? Are these tiny flying jewels amazing or what?

  1. Don't see hummers much 'round here.
    Will try to find more native plants that they like to put in the gardens.

  2. They are amazing and we have six large feeders for our hummingbirds. Hubby has a tough time keeping them full. We have lots of hummingbirds.

    Have a fabulous day and rest of the week. Hugs. ♥

  3. Hummers are beautiful! We don't see many of them here. Dang, Hummer males are like human males.

  4. They are beautiful. My hubby feeds them and we always have some sugar water ready to refill. Recently, a bear discovered the feeder, but luckily, he didn't break it. XO

  6. What a beautiful bird. I was so excited when I saw my first humming bird, in Canada.

  8. What a great idea! I used to put out sugar water in a feeder but only one hummer came through and the solution would get icky in the heat.
