hummingbirds

We've always had a humming bird feeder on our front porch. Most years we would have four or five birds vying for position at the feeder. Sometimes there would be at least ten humming birds competing for nourishment. This year it was hard to count the birds as they constantly darted in and out but we estimate that there are more than twenty humming birds this year. I went to Wal-mart and bought two more feeders. We're mixing our own sugar solution at 4 parts water to 1 part sugar. We're going through 2 cups of sugar a day keeping those little critters fed.
