Have not returned yet.

Maybe they don't like it.

I read that you don't need to boil the water and sugar.
Just let the sugar dissolve in room temp water.

Maybe the hummies are boycotting my new nectar.

I read somewhere that they really don’t have much sense of taste or smell. It’s the color that attracts. Mine didn’t show up for quite a few days in a row. This morning male and female both were back.

Mine were nowhere to be seen for about three days when the weather got cold and windy.

Once the spring flowers go, perhaps they will see the feeder.

I wouldn't consider drinking tap water myself unless it was boiled first.

Maybe I’ll get lucky.

I’m in Portland, Oregon and we have Anna’s hummingbirds year round. During a late winter storm I brought the feeder inside to change the nectar and was unable to hang outside for several days because the snow was too deep. Alas, they haven’t yet returned. 😢

I’ve been getting the ruby-throats at my feeders every year for 10 years or so. I think some of them come back from last year. They nest in the sweet gum tree here. Good luck

Feeder and see them zooming about during the day.

enjoying the hummingbird swing we have hanging up several times today! Normally they don’t discover it until late June. Also noticed today the wrens nesting in our wren house feeding babies!

Saw a few hummers today chasing each other today as well.
