Re: Bar Full Of Women
I don't think so. Here's the migration map and dates of when they start to head north. http://www.hummingbirds.net/map.html They don't show them heading south. I've been feeding them for about 15 years. Where we live now their arrival time varied only one day from last year. I use one part sugar to 3 parts water and then a drop or 2 of red food coloring. They consume 6-8 cups of sugar water daily. And I've been buying 10 lb bags of sugar from SAMS instead of the smaller bags. I'm on the 2nd 10 pounder this season. Grab a coffee and sit back and relax watching them. Also if you click on the pictures you'll get a closer view.
