I will. We usually spend all summer taking pics of them. We begin with making approximately 6 to 8 cups of nectar a week for about the first month (thats 1 cup sugar to 3 cups of water). In July that will jump to maybe a gallon a week and sometimes more. I have seen my Dad use 20 lb of sugar every two weeks just on hummingbird food. There are 3 of us in the camp where we live who have atleast 3 feeders up all summer and we are constantly refilling them. My feeders hold 3 cups each so thats 9 cups a week for now. In July it will grow to 9 cups every other day. They eat like my grandkids lol.
I do 4 parts water and 1 part sugar and I have them yearly. This will cut back on your sugar. However, this is the recipe I found in a magazine on them.

Love them! We have ONE coming to our feeder and he's such a bully! There can never be another one anywhere near "his" feeder! How DO you get such nice, polite hummers!!

I love to watch the hummingbirds. One year I visited my Mother in Missouri and sat out on the porch and was buzzed by at least a dozen of them. It was evening and they were all hungry.

I was just taking pictures of my hummingbird tonight. Brave little fellow. then the rain started. But with all the flowers and honeysuclke, wel'll have more soon. I just love them.
great pictures.
I buy the ready made nector, just add water. Guess I'd better stock up with all the feeders I've got.
