I used to mix 4/1 and would draw two or three at a time, now there's usually more than 10 out there.

Damn I do like 5:1

Anyone else think 3 water : 1 sugar works in S LA?

Put my feeders back out yesterday here in south MS. Hopefully we'll have a busy fall since this spring was kind of disappointing compared with last year.

I have birds zooming around my yard and resting on branches but they aren’t eating much from the feeder recently.

I notice that when I put more seed out in my feeders and other birds show up my hummingbird activity seems to increase as well.

Cardinals and finches are about to bankrupt me

We've had a few sporadic stragglers at our feeders this week. Just South of Salt Lake City.

New birds started arriving yesterday. Up to 6 feeders. Will have at least 9 up by tomorrow afternoon to stop the chasing.

I put up a second feeder. # of birds doubled or tripled. I've been watching easily 8 to 10 of them buzzing around all weekend.



Oh, and changed recipe from 4:1 to 3:1.
