Put out hummingbird
feeders
All month | Primarily eastern
Nebraska
It's spring migration season for
hummingbirds, so now is a good time to put
out a feeder. A few things to remember: Clean
the feeder every two to four days, consider
buying an ant moat, and avoid pre-made
nectar mixes with red dye. Instead, make
your own, boiling water and adding sugar
until you have a mixture that is four parts
water, one part sugar. Store in the fridge.
