Sandy, Thanks for the suggestions. I guess I'm a little unsure what's going one since we've had as many as 2-3 dozen hummers the past two seasons...in August/Sept I've had to fill the seven feeders twice/day. I guess I'm just a bit concerned that they have not shown up again this spring. We've helped raise a BUNCH of RTHU the past two seasons. Interesting that they are not here yet.
