This site lists six different types that have been sighted: http://placerbirding.com/PlacerCountyBirds.htm<br /><br />In the Northeast, we only see the Ruby-throated hummingbird. I see them if I put out feeders with one quarter cup of sugar to one cup of water. If I put out red flowers with trumpet shapes, they will also appear. They need so much nourishment, they only spend time where they are being fed.<br /><br />I like the new style of your blog, and I enjoyed the last review you posted.R.

My youngest is afraid of them! LOL - she thinks they will poke her eye out. Not a bird lover, she. All other creatures, just not birds. I have absolutely no idea where that came from. We have always had tons of feeders.Nancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13178290697351352495noreply@blogger.com
