Almost missed the boat
Because I live in Florida, I haven't put my feeder out soon enough for the hummingbirds to bookmark my location. Thus, disappointment as my feeder hung there with no activity. This year, after seeing this thread, I instructed the kids to put out the feeder when they opened the camp. So, they mixed up the nectar and hung the feeder. When I arrived I saw that the feeder was empty (a good sign) and so I filled it with my fancy red commercial stuff. I noticed that a bird would come, take a taste, and fly away (not good). Yesterday I dumped the red crap and mixed up some nectar from scratch. Now I'm getting wonderful activity at the feeder. I'm thrilled!!
