Hi ! Read your hummingbird post on Boomer’s thread . They are frantic at this time of year , bulking up to make trip south . Possibly flew into a window . Also Google a chart on how often to change sugar water , especially during hot days . I’ve been changing mine every other day to combat mold . We love our hummies here too Hope this helps

Thanks for the info. My feeders are facing North ,under the eve of the house. At least they're always in the shade. When it gets above 80 Degrees I do change the sugar water more often. I'm always checking.
I've seen videos with 20 hummies swarming around the feeder. It's been 3 years & I've only had one or two? How do they get so many? I feel like I'm doing something wrong?

I think you're right. He was laying on the step in front of my patio door. Probably hit the window!

Have a nice weekend

You can try some plant material that they are attracted to. Fuchsia is one and butterfly plant off the top of my head.

butterfly plant

Thanks for the suggestions,but I've got the butterfly bushes & 2 dozen other perennials I've never seen the hummers in my garden ,only by the feeders?

Only 3 hummers & now one is dead.

Maybe next year there'll be more?

If you are feeding them with sugar water, you have to be careful that you change that sugar water frequently, I believe it is weekly or a bacteria will form that is deadly to the hummers. I was using two feeders years ago but stopped because it was too much for me to remember and I didn't want to be responsible for killing any of the little beauties.
