Did you know hummingbirds consume half their weight in nectar and insects each day, stoking the furnace that enables them to beat their wings 90 times each second? Tired?

The tiny birds have been on the move for a few weeks now as this map of Ruby-throated hummingbird migration shows.

Get yourself a hummingbird feeder and enjoy visits from the tiny winged creatures. And forget the store-bought nectar (and the red dye). Just whip up a batch of homemade nectar with which to fill your feeder.
