Shame on all my YardCrap friends who don't have their HummingBird Feeders out.
They hit the SC coast a week ago. 4 out of the last 10 years they have arrived in my yard on April 2nd. Maybe some years they were here and I did not see one. Anyway, with this being a Leap Year with an extra day added in Feb to throw us off (not them), they might arrive on April 1st as sort of a joke.
I am ready. Get yours out there. The little guys will have just accomplished an incredible feat and a free meal is the least we can do.
Here is a photo of a beautiful, hungry female I took with a point and shoot camera. They get tame and you can have fun with any camera, or even a phone camera.

Mix the feed 1 part sugar to 4 parts water. If you don't have a feeder, A small bowl will do until you get to town.
