When to put your hummingbird feeder and The Ant-Mote™ outside.
Well, that depends on where you live. We are located in New Jersey so we do not see hummingbirds until April. If you live in California, as many of our bird-loving friends do, you have Anna’s hummingbirds that don’t migrate so it makes sense to keep your feeders topped off all year long. How lucky are they!
The best advice I’ve read for when to put out your hummingbird feeder is to check the migration maps as the season gets closer and put out your feeders when you see the hummingbirds are getting close to your area. It's as simple as that.
Did you know that there is no such thing as a hummingbird ‘scout’? They are solitary creatures and are just looking for the best territory. If it is a good area they may have more chances to mate. Even though not all of us can have the best territory we can certainly enjoy the few visitors we do get.
