It's the other way round. Late summer into fall is when they need us most: a ruby-throat has to nearly double its weight before it crosses the Gulf, and it has to feed every few minutes to do it. And that is exactly when the yards go quiet — beds cut back, roadsides mowed, feeders brought in because of the old idea that they'll stop the birds from leaving. They won't. A feeder only helps if three things are right: it sits where the birds are already looking, down among the flowers; it doesn't drip, so it isn't taken over by wasps and ants; and it can be scrubbed properly, because a bird that tastes spoiled nectar rarely comes back. Put out more than one, out of sight of each other.

And hummingbirds are wild. Sited well — among red or orange blooms, in a bed you can see from a window, out of the afternoon sun — a feeder is often found within a week or two, but the timing belongs to the bird, not to us. Two things make more difference than anything else, and both are free: don't cut back your salvia, zinnias or bee balm until frost does it for you, and don't take your feeders in early — leaving them up does not stop hummingbirds from migrating, so keep it out until two weeks after you see your last one. Fill it with 1 part plain white sugar to 4 parts water, never red dye and never honey. Fill it only halfway if it isn't emptying, and change it every 2 days in real heat, every 3–5 days in mild weather. Ants can climb any stake, so if they find it, move it a few feet. Push the stake in until it stands firm and straight, deeper in soft soil. Before the hard freezes, empty the belly and bring it inside — leave the stake where it stands, so it's in the same spot when they come back in spring.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 class=\"prod-h2\"\u003eProduct details\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"prod-specs\"\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWheel-thrown, kiln-fired ceramic; smooth food-contact glaze inside, hand-painted crackle glaze outside; red ceramic flower port\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eStake\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAntique-bronze powder-coated steel with a hand-shaped leaf, bent to Dale's pattern in Mosheim, Tennessee\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSet contents\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1 feeder with lift-off flower port · 1 stake · Evie's care card · 1 bottle brush\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePatterns\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRed flowers · Blue flowers · Blue leaf band\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDimensions\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAbout 24 in (61 cm) tall overall · belly about 3½ in (9 cm) across\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCapacity\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAbout 6 fl oz (175 ml)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFeeding port\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOne red flower-shaped port on top; lifts off for filling and cleaning\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNectar\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1 part plain white sugar to 4 parts water — no red dye, no honey\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSiting\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIn a flower bed, border or large planter, among blooms, out of the afternoon sun, where you can see it from a window\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCare\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHot water and the bottle brush at every refill; a weekly soak in 1 part white vinegar to 4 parts water.
