I saw your mention of hummingbirds, and I adore them SO much. I had scads of them at my two feeders in California. Alas, I have had no luck with them here, although I've seen and heard them a couple of times. I finally asked the owner of my local "Wild Birds Unlimited" how I should go about getting their attention, and she told me not to bother with my feeder until September, when we lack any flowers blooming and the little guys will be hungry. I'm going to give it another try then! I *so* miss them.
My muse insists I do a Snidget next. I will share. :)
