You might want to take a look at the Web site for "Operation
RubyThroat: The Hummingbird Project" at http://www.rubythroat.org
Your questions are all answered there, especially in the section on
feeding hummers at http://www.rubythroat.org/FeedersMain.html and the
pages linked from it.
I think 2:1 is unnecessarily strong.
Happy Hummingbird Watching,
BILL

Can someone give me the recipe for hummingbird nectar? I'm remembering:
1/2c sugar to 1c water, bring to a boil, then take off heat and let
cool, store in closed jar in refrigerator.
I need to know if that's correct? also how often to change it out
and how long it keeps.
Thanks.
