I agree, just put out lots of feeders. We put out about 15 it seems like the more feeders you have the more hummers stay around. There were times last summer when there were so many buzzing around you couldn't count them!

They love petunias, so I always make sure I have a big bed of them. They also like my butterfly bushes... but, then again, they like most all of the flowers it seems....

Hang a couple out well before they're supposed to arrive in your area... here they are supposed to arrive around April 15, a couple of years ago we had one at the feeder that hangs on the kitchen window before that... and the feeder wasn't full. Didn't take me long to get one filled for him. :-)
