Get ready for the hummers!

Ruby-throated Hummingbird (Archilochus colubris) is the most common hummingbird in western New York.  

Now is the time to bring out your hummingbird feeders.  Please don't buy the red colored liquid.  Make your own hummingbird nectar with 1 part sugar and 4 parts water.  Bring the sugar water mixture to a boil and then let cool.  Fill up the feeders.  Any remaining liquid should be refrigerated and will keep for a week.


Wild Birds Unlimited have many types of feeders for purchase.  You can also learn more about hummingbirds on the WBU website.
