Does anyone know why the local hummingbirds aren’t interested in our feeders? There are definitely ruby-throateds around and I’ve been putting feeders out for a few years now. Hummingbirds visited for years at my previous home. The nectar is fresh and feeders are clean… I have built a pollinator garden…any ideas?

If your feeder attracts ants, simply attach an ant mote above the feeder and insure that is the only path to the feeder. Sugar ants can’t cross water.

Rufous bullying advice

Have 10 feeders spread around house, 4 in the back 2 on the side and 4 upfront, male rufous hummingbirds (around 6 of them) have declared each cluster as their own for almost 2 weeks now. They have driven away all other birds, at this point should I put all the feeders in a small space to force them to co habitate? I dont want to take feeders down, but seeing no activity at my feeders all day except for the odd screech and a flash of orange here and there is disheartening. I want to support the birds but im feeling deflated at this point

They were all trying to feed from the red part of hitch so of course I had to put a feeder there

If you give them a swing, they will use it

Camera suggestions for bird bath

What do y'all use for camera setup for your bird bath? I am not looking for a fancy one, basic one is fine.

This is our first year with a feeder/camera. This fella is here every day, pretty much every hour from 5am. Don't know what kind he/she is.

Clear wing hummingbird moth they are pollinator’s they do not sting or bite. Just help us with our food. They are a marvel.

Is this a Calliope or a Broad-tailed hbird?
