    That is the original bottle I put on the machine when I bought it, several years ago. Took me couple minutes to figure out what the deal was. Been a long time since ran out of gas.

    Yes. Mrs. Hummer cleaned and filled about 30 feeders yesterday between the ones in Palisade for Black-chinned Hummingbirds, and here off the Peak-to-Peak for Broad-tailed Hummingbirds. In another month the northern migrant Rufous and Calliope will begin coming through in their southbound migration. That's when things get really busy.

    Hum, I don’t think I’ve seen a hummingbird in the wild since I left AZ. Unless you count the hummingbird/hawk moth that freaked me out last summer.
    My T.P. wheeling and dealing feedback is here.

    Opinions are like assholes, everybody has one, and it stinks more than mine.

    Sounds like quite the operation, we've got one feeder the birds enjoy.



    (Don't mind the back yard, it was a blank canvas when we moved in, slowly getting it squared away).

    I don't see them much, but I sure hear them a lot. Neighbor has a hummer nest over there as well. Wifey and I have been discussing putting up a feeder.

    My folks in WA have a feeder over a fountain and they get tons of visitors either getting nectar, water, or a quick bath.

    The wall/fence reminds me of CA and NV houses.

    White-lined Sphinx Moth? I like them.
