With this HOT weather comes fungus growth in the feeder. To keep the little guys healthy try to clean the feeders every couple of days. http://portalproductions.com/h/
The high light of spring is when the hummers make their way back here. I LOVE watching them.

Datdog, I'm with you on watching these little guys. I'm glad I have an understanding boss, as I am frequently late for work during "peak" viewing season. On the weekend mornings and evenings, I can ALWAYS be found sitting on one of my porches, coffee cup in hand, with binoculars and camera by my side.

I was lucky to have a viewable nest this year (in my neighbor's tree, about 10 ft off the ground). On Sunday, I told the baby that I expected it to be a regular visitor at my house. My husband just shook his head at the thought of me talking to the bird. I thought the baby was getting large enough to being close to leaving the nest, and I was right - - it left yesterday.
