Naturalist Notes: Hummingbird Feeders

Recently I got two hummingbirds feeders which I anxiously hung this morning. I think hummingbirds are like small jewels, here one minute and gone the next.

When placing these feeders in your yard or garden make sure to put them among flowers, this makes it easier for the birds to find. It is important that you use only white sugar, because other sugars—such as raw and brown— contain iron and other impurities that can poison hummingbirds. The mixture should be one part sugar to four parts water.

I wonder who will be the first at my feeders, I’ll keep you posted!
