Bring 1 part white sugar and 4 equal parts water to a boil,
let it cool overnight and then fill the feeders.
Told you it was easy.
I found these cute mason jar feeders at Wal-mart.
I bought two of them and it takes
1 cup sugar and 4 cups water to almost fill both of my feeders.
Like I mentioned, we have eight resident hummingbirds and they drink a lot.
I make new water for them every other day because they drink it all.
I clean the feeders each time I give them fresh sugar water.
These sweet little birds dart all around the feeders and our porch.
I really enjoy watching them and
they make such a buzz that my boston terrier, Madison, watches them too.
I tried to get a couple pics that captured more than one hummingbird at a time.
They do take breaks every once in a while and rest.
Sometimes on a pair of antlers we have on our porch post.
Hummingbirds are just so sweet. I have only seen one before. Thanks for sharing.

Thank you Sherri. Even though I don't have my ocean, I do have a lot of wildlife that I love :)
DeleteAhhhh, jealous! I have only seen them down here once. I don't think they like the heat!! LOVE YOUR BLOG Adina!!
ReplyDeleteYou send me a little salty air and I'll send you a hummingbird. Thank you so much Julie! (You know you're welcome anytime, your whole family is)
DeleteOur hummingbird finally arrived today. I had wasp issues but I think it is resolved. The hummingbirds are so entertaining.
ReplyDeleteWe have had a bad wasp issue this summer too. I'm glad your hummingbird arrived. I love them.
