Love hummers!! Ours don't come till mid June, but we put out feeders and usually get a couple of pair. They are so fun to watch---very territorial of the feeders.

Love hummingbirds. We've had a mild winter in Pacific Northwest and my hummers showed up in February. They flew up to the slider (their favorite location) and stared in the window at us. Walking out onto the deck can get dangerous as they dart between locations and when I take a feeder down to refill (they have no patience).

Ours' should be back around the first of May.

Our feeders get overrun with bees and in the evening the deer lick them dry. Anyone have a helpful solution?

I'm always amazed (and a little jealous) to read things like this. For the past several years I've had feeders out but only a handful of times have I ever seen more than one hummer at a time. They are very stingy with their appearances, but I take what I can get. I've more of a challenge this year as I just moved into a 5th floor apartment ... but I'm going to try!!

We had the bee problem, went to the wild bird store and got "bee guards" those little yellow petal things that fit over the nectar hole. Hope that helps. We also had the feeders on a pully thing that we could raise quite high. Kind of like a flag pole adaptation. I just love watching them I nick named them the Jetsons! We only have the Ruby Throated hummers here.

Thank you for the link Ditter, lots of neat photos most of us will never get to see. Boy the babies sure do grow fast.
Have shared the link with family, my feeder is already out and am waiting. Then it will be putting the grape jelly out for the Orioles, so they will stay away from the nectar feeder.
