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. _________________________ chick ~ Here is the test to find whether your mission on Earth is finished: if you're alive, it isn't ~ ~ Prayer is the most we can do for another human being ~

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. _________________________ Queen JJ www.queenjawjaw.com All Things Royal - 2010 and Beyond Humorist for the NABBW
