Folks

It time to put out your hummingbird feeders.  Early date is about March 27 
from the Yellowbook.  I put one on both sides of the house so they have two 
opportunities to find the feeders.  I suggest starting with one part sugar 
to three parts water.  Boil the water, let cool, and fill your feeders.  No 
color additives are necessary and may be harmful.  If you put them out they 
will come.  If it is warm (above 60 degrees) for a couple days, change the 
mixture, but be patient.

There is a hummingbird website that you can look at to track the movement of 
the birds north.  See:   http://www.hummingbirds.net/map.html.

Enjoy the hummers.
