So ............ dixie ....... I guess that means that Florida already has them or they are migrating north?

Someday ...... (sigh) Enjoy your little visitors! :-)

I have no idea what they're feeding on. I have a few red flowers but they ignore them. I have a male and female and they do come to the feeder often. i worry about them. Beth

Ha, ha. Funny about the pressure washing. Hadn't thought of that but you're probably right on!

I am always thinking about having the red flowers and don't think that I have to dirty things up a bit for some good bugs on the HB buffet!

becky, I don't get why you don't have HBs?! It seems like your yard would be a natural for them... Did you try putting the red ribbons on the feeders? I read somewhere that they can spot red miles away... hard to believe, but...
