[QUOTE="dennishoddy, post: 2969970, member: 5412"] We start out with a few pairs in the spring. After breeding we have 20 or so at the end of summer. Angry little birds and really territorial. Put out a feeder now with a 4 cups water to 1 cup sugar and see if you have any scouts come by. Change it out on a regular basis, (every couple of days when warm) and see if any scouts come visit. Wife makes it by the gallon, and keeps it in the fridge. Only fill the feeders about 1/4 full until you see hummers. Be sure to sanitize the feeders with a little bleach solution every so often. We love em. Wife has 4 feeders out to cut down on the competition for a single feeder and at the end of season goes through about a half gallon a day. I'm sure the people in the grocery store think I'm a moonshiner or something when I check out with a 20 lb bag of sugar. [/QUOTE]
