If you welcome hummingbirds to your yard each season, be sure to have feeders out by Mother’s Day. To follow their migration along the East Coast, search online for “hummingbird migration tracker.”

Nectar is easy to make: mix 4 parts hot water with 1 part granulated white sugar. Stir until sugar dissolves, cool before filling feeders. No red coloring is needed, as most feeders have red ports to attract the birds. Change the nectar every few days, especially in hot weather!
