:DI HAVE FAITHFULLY KEPT A FEEDER OUT FOR THE HUMMERS SENCE JOE ANNOUNCED THEY WERE ON THEIR WAY SOUTH. THIS LAST SUNDAY A FEMALE RT HUMMER WAS FEEDING FROM MY FEEDER. LAST WINTER I DIDNT HAVE ANY SIGHTINGS UNTIL THE LAST DAY OF JANUARY. THOSE BIRDS WOULD NOT TOUCH MY FEEDERS AND FED ONLY ON MY ORCHID OR HONEY SUCKLE TREES. THIS FEEDER IS HANGING UNDER MY BACK PORCH AWNING JUST A FEW FEET FROM MY SLIDING GLASS DOOR SO IM HOPING TO GET SOME PHOTOS. I HAVE IT UNDER THE AWNING TO KEEP IT OUT OF THE SUN AND SAVE THE NECTAR FROM SPOILING SO FAST. I HAVE THE SCREEN SLIDER OVER ON THAT SIDE SO THAT THE BIRDS WONT FLY INTO THE GLASS. I HOPE SHE STAYS AROUND.
