Hummingbird Nectar Recipe ~ Make Your Own Hummingbird Feeder
We are eagerly anticipating the return of our resident Ruby-throated hummingbirds. We haven't had a sighting yet this spring but are confident that it will be soon. They return like clockwork each year making their presence known at our various flowers and feeders.

Our local hummingbirds are very hungry and make numerous daily trips to our porch feeders. Our hummingbird feeders are filled and ready to go. This one outside our office window is a favorite. It's constructed from a jar and has a plastic, screw on base.
We've been wanting to add a few more feeders to our other porches. We're amazed at the beautiful variety of hummingbird feeders available. Here are a few of our favorites.

It's recommended that you change hummingbird nectar frequently. During the summer months we have no option as the birds clean us out quickly. We gave up on expensive hummingbird nectar powder years ago. We replaced it with this simple, hummingbird nectar recipe:

| 4 Cups of Warm Water |
 |
| 3 Drops Red Food Coloring (OPTIONAL) |

| 1 Tablespoon Sugar |
