If you slow down the sound, they will hum.

Any idea how much sugared water you go through in a week?

30-40 Lbs, I guess that is a pretty good idea of how much I go through
in a week.
....and they are the only consumers of sugar in this household.

Great shot, and that's the question I had. We go through a mere five
pounds a week.

them the real facts, and beer.

We're fortunate enough to see an occasional humming bird around our
property. I don't think I've seen more than five in my entire life.

Where you are on the East Coast you should see quite a few in the
Summer. You should see the Ruby-throated Hummingbird which we don't get
out West. You just need the garden or feeders to lure them in.

If you care to try tempting some local visitors get a hummingbird
feeder and mix up a simple syrup, one cup sugar to 3 cups water. If you
get the numbers I see out here, buying the commercial hummingbird
nectar is a ripoff.

You might be surprised at what shows up. stores such as OSH/Lowes
usually carry feeders or you can find them online at Duncraft or Amazon.

We are using a ratio of 4:1, and if you want to save $10-20 bucks a
week, you might try that.

In fact, you are perfectly situated to try half of your set up on one
ratio, the other on the other. (We have only three feeders, for about a
dozen regulars. In Yolo County are we.)

At the rate they go through it the saving would be hardly noticible.
What I have researched is local sugar prices. So far my best prices are
at Walmart and Cost Plus where I can get a 15 Lb bag for just over $5.
Larger bags at Cost Plus and FoodForLess are just too unwieldly. At
this stage I don't begrudge them $10 per week, afterall I don't spend
too much time hanging about bars. I need to find the time to spend more
on women eight years of the widower thing is getting stale. I find
cameras are more reliable and safer.

I am in San Luis Obispo County, about 13 miles West of Paso Robles out
at Lake Nacimiento.

Up there in Yolo Co. and in the Sac Valley you should see Anna's
Hummingbirds year round as I do, along with migratory Rufus. We also
get the Costa's and Allen's Hummingbirds in Summer, but for you that
is less likely, more migratory there. Spring migratory for both of us
is the Calliope Hummingbird. Rare in Summer for both of us is the
Black-chinned Hummingbird
