Hummingbirds are particularly active this time of year. You can attract them to your yard with an inexpensive feeder and some sugar water. While you can purchase the red premixed liquid food, I have found that better food can be made by mixing about 1/3 of a cup of table sugar, with about 3/4 cup of water in a small pot. Bring to a boil, stirring regularly until dissolved. Pour into a pyrex measuring cup and add a few ice cubes to get you to one cup. Pour that mixture into your feeder and you will have hummingbirds around your yard in no time at all. (Picture courtesy of Pamela Anderson)
