Here in Indianapolis, we saw our first Hummer of the season three days ago. We are sure we have certain pairs who come back to us year after year.

My wife normally puts bright red ribbon on her feeders (4 of them), to attract the hummers. Leaves 'em there at least a month or so. She colors the syrup red too, to help attract the customers.

Seems silly, buying a special premix for hummer syrup. All it would be is sugar, and maybe some coloring. MUCH cheaper just buying sugar and a little bottle of red food dye.
