Birders,
If you ever wonder why your Hummer feeder gets so dirty just after you put out 
fresh nectar, wonder no more.  I have trouble with my feeders because my 
numerous Downys sit on them all day and make the nectar nasty.  This morning I 
had a female Red Belly drinking her fill from a feeder that I had just 
refilled. It is a small flat feeder and she drank half the nectar!  Wildlife is 
wonderful!!!
