Last year as I was preparing to move my deck furniture out of the garage, I heard a buzzing or humming sound not far from me. When I looked toward the source, I saw a Ruby-Throated Hummingbird next to the cord that I pull in order to open the door when the power is out. At the end of the cord is a small red knob. I got a great chuckle at the sight of the hummingbird as it poked it to see if any nectar would be produced.
Seeing the hummingbird was my stimulus to boil four cups of water and one cup of sugar and place in the refrigerator so that later I could place in the red hummingbird feeders that I had cleaned the previous fall. I have learned that I must place one feeder in my front yard and one in the back yard to prevent the hummingbirds from attacking each other for territorial spaces and food.
