@Alyssa-Bee - How cool! Some other bird types actually will visit for the nectar, like a Hooded Oriole for instance.

I think I've heard that before, but I've only ever seen hummingbirds when we put up our feeders! I hope to see a lots of different birds this year!

Any hummer sightings out there yet folks?

Plenty where I live. There’s one that has stayed with us all year round in 2020, he’s claimed our backyard as his grounds and unfortunately isn’t a big sharer with other hummies. He’s got a lot of personality and comes up to us sometimes to see what we are up to.

@LittleBrownie - How amazing! A wintering hummer? Your area I'd guess Allen's or Anna's Hummingbird

We have spotted males and females at our house already! We have always made our own nectar for as long as I remember.

Yup! I thought he’d migrate at some point, especially during the winter but he never left! He’s a cute little Anna that my mom named Fred.
Unfortunately I managed to find a deceased Costa in the yard last year

Okay, I just spotted the first little hummingbird! I'll have to get some nectar made!

@CaliFarmsAR - So great that you make your own nectar! Been making my own for the years I have been feeding them my own, and they love it. No red dye needed

@Alyssa-Bee - CONGRATS on your first hummer visitor! So excited for you!

@LittleBrownie - Poor little Costa's, but so glad you tend to the little Anna's hummer! I have yet to have an overwintering Ruby-throated, as they do good about migrating
