Glad to see them back....
Many folks don't realize that about 20% of a Hummingbird's diet consists of small bugs and spiders that they eat for the protein that they need in their diets. I was at a farmer's market the other day and saw a protein feeder for sale there, being that it looked like a pretty simple feeder I came home and looked for DIY protein feeders online and was pleased to see one made from an empty coke bottle... I have hung one already near one of my nectar feeders and will be adding another.

You may be right as Anna's are not known in the East!

Thanks everyone for your kind comments... I have put the camera away for today but cosmo I will try to post a pic of my protein feeder tomorrow.
These are definitely Ruby Throated Hummingbirds, pretty much all I have ever seen in this area, wish we had more variety, the state lists a few others on their website but I have never seen them.
