abnerdog Posted April 21, 2011 Share Posted April 21, 2011 My first humming bird of the year has just shown up. Hard to believe that those little birds migrate so far. Later on in the summer they will actually feed from the feeder as I am bringing it back out from refilling it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corey Posted April 21, 2011 Share Posted April 21, 2011 you should try to get a picture of them while they feed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abnerdog Posted April 21, 2011 Author Share Posted April 21, 2011 when they get use to me they come right up to my face. I think my nikon might scare them but my Iphone might be ok. I am going to try that this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HannahG Posted April 21, 2011 Share Posted April 21, 2011 idk, I looked them up to see if any lived near me, it says they do but I've never seen them. And they are in the "Aves" class.. Whatever that means Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abnerdog Posted April 21, 2011 Author Share Posted April 21, 2011 Hannah, buy a feeder about, $10 at any pet or home improvement store. Make a mixture of 1 part sugar to 4 parts water and hang the feeder outside where you can see it. I also have one outside of the window where my computer sits. It may take a while but they will find it. When the wheather gets hot, change the sugar water twice a week. put extra sugar water in you fridge. You will be amazed at how aggressive they are.
