Hello VAbirders,

This morning it was time for me to make fresh humnectar for the 2 feeders 
I've got out.  I mixed up a batch and left it on the counter to cool.

Later I filled my teacup with hot water, turned to the fridge to retrieve a 
bit o' lemon to squirt into the cup, turned back to the counter and 
"pppswiiittt," promptly squirted the lemon juice into the humnectar.

I stood there watching the lemon juice swirl through the nectar a moment 
and then realized what I had done.  Since I've never read anything about 
hummingbirds prefering hummerade, I knew it was time to make another batch 
of nectar.

Do other people do such things or is it only half-a-brain me?  Egads!

BTW, get those humfeeders out of storage, the hummers are on their way!!

;-)
