Having coffee with hummingbirds in the mornings when they are around makes the start to a beautiful day.

My bushes attract them and they are a blessing to observe close up.

Sometimes I will have my coffee cup halfway up to my mouth and "freeze" right there when one comes by.

I have been tempted to set up my web cam to watch them closer,like the Leprechaun one we had here a few weeks back.

Maybe I'll do that so we can watch them together.
Hmmmm....now, how do I do that. Gone to research.

That would be so cool! Do it. Here is the recipe that the site recommends:

Recipe for artificial nectar (syrup):

Use one part ordinary white cane sugar to four parts water.

It's not necessary to boil the water. The microorganisms that cause fermentation don't come from the water; they are transported to the feeder on hummingbird bills.

Store unused syrup in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.

This mixture approximates the average sucrose content (about 21%) of the flowers favored by North American hummingbirds, without being so sweet it attracts too many insects.
