I have had little success with my two hummingbird feeders. However, it has been a joy to have hummingbirds enjoying my several potted Salvia! I had one large pot last year along with a few Salvia in my cut flower bed. This year, I planted a dozen Salvia in five pots placed on my deck.

We got a new red feeder from Audubon and humminhbirds love it. The 4 feeder tubes look like flowers. (They did not find the old one very interesting) The feeder should be red, not the water. I have read red food dye is not good for birds. Onward, Joan On Mon, May 6, 2024, 12:55 PM Rob

It is a time of year when blossoms may offer more than a feeder. We have feeders at our CO mountain house- no fussing with cleaning, or store bought stuff, no red dye- just sugar and water boiled and cooled. When they are hungry, they will buzz bomb you and fight each other to get to that

IDK exactly why, but all airports will change the “pattern”, meaning which runways are used for take offs and landings, from time to time. This can be due to winds, although yesterday was quite still, or, as I have been told, Hanscom rotates their landing patterns so as to “share the pain”
