I love those "Hummers" coming into the yard to check out the Honey Suckle on our fence.
Two years ago, I put up a hanging, humming bird feeder.
The feeder was in the open, with a shelter of shade from the plum tree.
They stopped feeding after about a week. I discovered that there were several other (larger) wild birds facilitating the blossoms, too. Seems the humming birds were afraid of being attacked as they drank from the hanging feeder.
I finally had to take it down, as there were more ants in the feeder than humming birds. Sad about that.

Thanks JBuckley for your comment. I have put up feeders with red liquid and now have a couple with clear liquid. The feeders were in a sunny part of the yard and got very little notice by Hummingbirds. I moved it to another part of the yard with a bit more shade. Now it gets no notice by the birds. Friends stick feeders up anywhere and herds of Hummingbirds are attracted. YIKES! What's a photographer to do?
