Is it right that you put out honeyed water for the hummingbirds?

I am hoping when I get to far north WIscocnsin in a few weeks my feeder will help a few recover from their long commute. In Wsic they are fearless and often land on my hand or head when I take feeder to clean and refill or bring back out. I love the two books about them over wintering in a green house.<br /><br />My nightstand has dustbunnies right now but my reading chair has my Bird books.....spring migration always brings surprises with the cold and winds this year. and I have a few in my yard and woods that have me scratching my head.jane nj/wihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05647265942303671745noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6511052179322289323.post-22604623359971577612014-04-23T15:09:06.302-06:002014-04-23T15:09:06.302-06:00No hummingbirds yet on my side of Washington, but ...No hummingbirds yet on my side of Washington, but I guess it is time to put out the feeders for their arrival!!Farm Quilterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01670652033638218941noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6511052179322289323.post-70741282958107436692014-04-23T06:12:56.155-06:002014-04-23T06:12:56.155-06:00No hummingbirds yet!

We have 2 feeders that are filled every 2 days. We even have a resident woodpecker that lets us know the feeders are empty by knocking on the feeders!
