More Humming birds 9-9-15
It is that time of the year where the humming birds start to migrate south and show up in SW Louisiana.
We had 1 hummer for the last couple of weeks, then a second one starting coming several days ago. Just now I watched 3 darting at each other around the feeder.
Usually be late Sept. and into Oct. we will have 5 to 10 feeding daily. Some years we have had 20 or more that will "drink" 4 to 6 cups of sugar water per day.
I find them really enjoyable to watch them darting around like they are defending there "food".
I mix 1/4 cup sugar to 1 cup of tap water.
