Hummingbirds At My Feeder (In Delaware County PA!)

I hope you start to get more birds soon. Try to find out when the birds start coming around in the spring. I've heard they send out scouts that scan for the food sources. Maybe getting an early start in the spring will bring more birds later in the summer. 

I sure enjoy watching them at my feeders. 

We have Rose of Sharon bushes near our home and have seen hummingbirds there often when the blossoms are up

Glad you have hummingbirds. I do here too although ants are a problem.

Hi Gloria.  I hope that you will eventually get the opportunity to catch one in a photo.

Thanks for sharing your experience. Have an outstanding week with your camera in hand.

Good morning Gloria. I hope you do get a picture of your bird. Not easy but stick with it.

That's ingenious Gloria. I've always wanted to see if any would visit here. If it wasn't ants climbing down the feeder it'd be squirrels climbing up the post.

Hi, Gloria. I would love to have more hummers coming my way. We love to sit on the patio and watch them. They are most active in the early morning and evening. Last night we had at least seven of them all wanting to eat from two feeders. It was quite the show. That is about the most I ever get. I know people that live higher up in elevation, and they get so many of the hummingbirds that's its hard to believe. I think there is less food for them at the higher elevations. 

Hi, Gloria...I think the hummers will go for the easy feeder food, versus working to get it from a flower. That's just my observation, and maybe I've only been watching lazy hummingbirds. 

If you have time check out this post I did. You might get a kick out of the second picture. I hope I don't offend you by posting a link here. 

Keep up your efforts with your feeder. Make sure you change the food often. That is key. It goes bad in my feeders really quick in this hot weather. I just cleaned and changed out both of my feeders last night.
