Our hummingbird feeder attracts ants, so I have had to do away with it. Makes me sad because I love watching the hummingbirds from my kitchen window,

Just curious.....anyone seeing much activity yet?  Is there a typical "hummingbird season" here?

My wife and I put in a large hummingbird garden (and feeders) about a month ago--it looks great, but hasn't gotten much notice from any hummingbirds.......

Had our first sighting today, he hit the flowers I had taken my feeder down due to a crafty squirrel. Just put it back up

Just curious if any Sowalers have any hummingbirds around?  I put a feeder out a couple of weeks ago and have not seen any activity yet.

Hummingbirds anyone?
