We have a Soliom hummingbird feeder/camera. They werent using the perch that came with it so hubby made a slightly larger perch out of copper 12 gauge wire, and now theyll sit while they drink most of the time. We had 70 visits the other day!

(36,714 posts)A plate glass window in the back door and I can shoot pictures from about 5 feet away. The Hummers have come back every year for the past 10 years or so. I dont have a lot of them like my friend in New Mexico does. But here in Delaware they like to nest in the sweetgum tree out in my backyard. Sounds like you have a really good set up there. I never get nearly that many visits

(12,260 posts)We live in a wooded development in Newark. I figure they're nesting someplace close because as soon as my husband cleans and refills the feeders, they're back. The UD IT dept is still primarily working from home so I have my setup in the dining room. Last year one would hover in front of the dining room window. I figured it was trying to tell me the feeder was either empty or needed freshening up.
We see the female a bunch more than the male, but they both visit frequently.

(5,509 posts)You must have had your feeders out early to catch the eye of the first male arrivals. I didn't put my first feeder out until the last week of April, and there were no takers. I put up a second feeder last Saturday and a female was at the feeders the next day. I think the females are quite beautiful as well.

(36,714 posts)Then I saw a male about a week later. They were pretty much right on time. They looked like they had been here last year maybe. She made herself right at home when she arrived
