If you don't have your feeders out by now, you need to get them out today. Starting to see a slow return already of a couple of birds. I had a late start this year and last year because a blue-jay decided to build a nest and have some babies in the bush where my feeders are so the hummingbirds stayed away until she and her 3 little ones had left.
Don't forget to change the nectar in your feeder weekly, especially in the heat of summer as the nectar will spoil, also small bugs will accumulate down in the reservoir where you can't see them and die, which also contaminates the nectar.
They don't like to eat dirty food anymore than we do.
