The folks there were simply the best. But now we're here! What brings me joy today? The hummingbirds outside my window drinking the nectar I've provided.

I saw a hummingbird for the first time in the three years since we moved to our new house buzzing around my front porch. Saw him again a few days ago. It was a gorgeous iridescent blue/green/purple. Time to get a feeder I guess. Never had one, so would love any advice y'all have about a good product, placement, etc!
Not an expert, but I saw a YouTube video for making a hummingbird feeder out of a small soy sauce bottle with the red pour-out cap. Pretty good use of what would have been trash. As far as placement, as long as you can see the little beauties, it should be ok. I use a 1:4 sugar to water ratio for my feeder.
