Too funny, I've had the same thoughts in reverse when I put out cool nectar on a hot Texas day.

Had to laugh. Last year was my first hummingbird year and I too tried cooling the nectar. I was afraid that the little guys would burn their tongues because it gets so hot on my balcony, but it didn't seem to be a problem.

My three made it. The low Sat morning was 24, low Sun
morning was 19. The high for Sat was only 40. Today,
a male was drinking(?) the ice-cold nectar at first
light, before I could get the warm batch out. Both
males were feeling frisky enough by noon to fight, so
I added another feeder on the opposite side of the
house (they could feed more and fight less, if they
so desired). I think the worst is over, the low temp
for tonight is forecast to be 26. Here are 2 pics of
the bad boys, sorry 'bout the quality - shot through
a window and several feet away.
