Hummingbirds Feeders in the Fall | |
Each fall, people are concerned about cold nights, how long to leave feeders up, and making the best sugar solutions. Here are some helpful tips: | |
Keep Feeders Up Maintain at least one feeder for a week or two after your last sighting. "The feeders do not entice them to stay," states ornithologist Laura Erickson. The birds have an instinct to move with the maximum availability of food. If migrating birds could be easily enticed to stay for food, none of them would get anywhere because they would have the maximum food available right up until fall's first killing frost—when it would be too late for so many hummingbirds to be moving. Any stragglers are just not in condition to move when they should. They need your feeders as reliable sources of food in order to have the best chance at catching up when few natural flowers are still in bloom. Bring Feeders Inside on Cold Nights Adjust Sweetness for Conditions Keep Feeders Fresh Have the Right Feeder Size and Type Hang in There! |
