Mickey,
Another good tip. Thanks! I notice that there are two sizes, a 16 ounce and
a 32 ounce. For every situation here in the Great Lakes and likely in the
northeast, the smaller feeder is sufficient since single birds at each site
is the norm.

Hello,
I ordered one back in November and it came straight away, so may be worth
contacting them if this hasn't already been done. The trick with this
feeder is to make sure it's only 1/2 full or less, otherwise one of my
hosts found it froze.
Cheers, Mickey

Regarding this feeder ... be aware that it can take QUITE AWHILE to
receive one that has been ordered. I have a host in Louisville who ordered
one the first week of December and it *still* has not come in. I presume
these folks are being inundated with orders and having a hard time filling
them??? This host's bird, a HY M RUHU, did not stay past Christmas, so she
has ordered one for a bird that has departed; I told her I would buy it
from her when it comes in if she wants, then I will have one to loan to
hosts in my area. We had a HY F RUHU winter in a yard in west KY last year
using one of them.

Yes, as a matter of fact. I own one myself and I have a current winter
hummer host who is using one with her return RUHU. Plus I have recommended
them to others who have purchased them.
It's a good alternative, and easy to use.
Cheers,

Everyone,
Does anyone have experience with this product:

It might be an additional alternative for those of us under the arctic ice
sheet who also host hummingbirds. More and more, homeowners are telling me
that it is getting harder to find an incandescent spotlight, as mainly LED
versions are available now, which put off good light, but less heat.
