"Hummers" as they are affectionately called are usually in the Colorado mountains from around April-May to September 15. here is the recipe for making hummingbird nectar and replace it often to keep them coming back, of which they can get very protective:
- mix 4 parts water to 1 part table sugar in a pan For example, use 1 cup sugar to 4 cups water.
- bring to a boil then remove from the heat
- cover and allow to cool before using or pouring into the storage bottle
