I understand you should put a feeder in shade so the sun doesn't spoil the food. You have to change it frequently, even if they don't come, because it does spoil and can do more harm then good if they arrive late.

Have yet to see a hummer in TV. When I lived in New Mexico I had quite a flock that came all the time to my two feeders on my patios. We use to sit and watch them with such delight. Really do miss that.
