Hummers have been spotted in Faribault today so they're on their way back. When they get here they will tired and hungry. They beef up before leaving but by the time they get here, they've lost half of their body mass. Some have come from southern Mexico, others from Central America, and still others come from South America. The hummingbirds can fly the 500 miles over the Gulf of Mexico without a break. So get your hummingbird feeders ready. Boil 1 part sugar in 4 parts water. Bring to a full boil. Allow to cool before filling your feeder. Keep your nectar refrigerated.
