Nectar Recipe:
Four parts warm water to one part refined, white table sugar. Mix and cool. That's it. No dyes, no additives, no organic sugars (brown and "natural" sugars contain iron, which is not good for the birds.) Change every few days or sooner if cloudy.

Hummer Wars have started. Hatching year birds like this young, male Ruby-throat (above) have left the nest and are visiting feeders now. As numbers increase, you'll notice lots of chasing and squabbling. Photo by Stephen C. Bosshardt

Julia has had the joy of working up close with these dynamic little birds for over ten years, and will explain their timeline of migration and breeding, share how to successfully attract and feed them, dispel some common myths, and answer questions.
