Check out the map http://www.hummingbirds.net/map.html . I put a link on my desktop to check it everyday.

I just discovered that map today, and I think it's great. Also, I bought a hummzinger feeder due to this site. I'm looking forward to seeing hummingbirds this summer. Does anyone know if hummingbirds like feeders to be at a certain height, in/out of the sun, etc.? Basically, what's the best position for a hummingbird feeder?

It is best to keep feeders out of direct sunlight. hang them under a tree or eaves of a house or porch. Nectar is direct sunlight will spoil faster. I hang mine at a height that i can reach without having to use a ladder to get to it. I also hang them on tall shepherd's hooks.

birdluver,

Thanks, Penny. I live in an adobe home that has a cement patio surrounded by an adobe high wall. I think I'll have to look for a hook device to attach to the adobe wall. Anyone have a suggestion as to what I can use to cause less damage to the wall?

If you have gutters you can hang the feeders from the gutters. If not I would suggest shepherd hooks.
