    First hummingbird of the season showed up today. I am making Star Gazers 3/1 food mix.
    Please post your pics.

    Yup, 3 cups water- 1 cup sugar. Only for early spring and late Fall. 4/1 should be standard summer fare.
    If the hummers blow up, I'll blame Star Gazer. :rofl: :lol:

    We had a black chin show up on March 25th. Lots of activity now with both black chins and broadtails. The real fun starts around the first of July when the rufus-tails show up. These little critters really make me smile. :D

    We've had a bunch move through here already. They seem to taper off the feeders for a few weeks May-early June, not sure if they are nesting or other food sources?

    Might try the 3-1 mix today cause the current batch is starting to cloud up
