Hummer numbers continue to grow as post-breeding dispersal and early migration is ramping up. Ruby-throats need to fatten up, often doubling their weight to make the long trek, and our feeders make great fuel stops.
That's why late July through early September is always our busiest season. Now is the time to really enjoy these tiny jewels zipping and chasing around your yard!

Let us show you our favorite hummingbird feeders (you can never have too many,) help you fight wasps and ants, and keep everything clean. Saucer-style feeders like this Hummer High Rise above don't drip or leak, and are super easy to refill and clean.

Using suction cup window hummingbird feeders or small feeders like this HummBlossom (above) hung on a window bracket is a great way to see hummers up close and personal.

Whether you mix your own nectar (four parts warm water to one part white sugar,) or use Cole's Nature's Garden, make sure to change it at least twice weekly when temperatures reach 80F. And never use red dyes or non-white sugars, which can be harmful.
