Do you feed the hummingbirds?

My hummers are already gone for this year but some of you may still be seeing them. The following article has some ideas and helps for creating a fuller environment for our hummer friends. Hope you enjoy it!! http://hometipster.com/catering-to-humming...

Interesting tips. I wouldn't have thought of some of these. I would just add that birdbaths of any kind need to be cleaned and replenished regularly to avoid breeding mosquitoes. West Nile has gotten really bad in many areas, and mosquitoes don't need any help breeding.

@Steve, I just started filling my suet feeder a few years ago (my auntie does this) and when I was writing this article I saw they actually sell a pre-filled type feeder online. Good reminder to watch the water system; I also covered this tip in the "Important" section of the article.

That's alright-it's always a good reminder, especially this time of year.
