Put Out a Hummingbird
Feeder
Throughout Aug. and Sept.
Statewide
It's time to put out a hummingbird feeder if you have not already
done so. Joel Jorgensen, Game and Parks nongame bird
program manager, advises avoiding cheap feeders, as they tend
to leak and attract wasps and bees; cleaning the feeder every
few days; and putting in an ant moat fi lled with water between
the feeder and whatever you're hanging it from (some feeders
will already have this feature). He also recommends making your
own nectar, fi rst by boiling four parts of water and one part of
sugar, and then putting it in the refrigerator for a while.

confl ict that emerges within. It exposes the
struggle of preserving the Heartland's farms and
the livelihood of the people who live here. To read
