I live in a 2nd story apt with a tiny balcony/deck where I have a hummingbird feeder up year round as they are here year round and on Xmas day evening--was grilling outdoors and looked up to find 5 hummers sitting at the feeder and I think, there was a 6th one darting around too!!! OMG!!!! Was thrilled beyond belief!! And was able to get photos of the hummer dinner party to boot!! Wish I knew how to get the photo off my phone and onto my PC to show the feast of the hummers!!!!

That sounds so "cool"

@wagirl.  Do you not get freezing weather, snow?  I hope not because encouraging hummers to hang around beyond their migration time is a death sentence.

@Kachina624 

We have year round hummingbirds  (Anna's Humminbirds) in the PNW.

I posted this pic before about how I wrapped my feeder in incandescent Christmas lights to keep the nectar from freezing because we do have them year round here.....

@GingerHead.  We have temps in 20s most winter nights in Albuquerque, and anybody who leaves their feeders up into fall gets scolded.

@Kachina624 --snow is not a thing here--we get it rarely and we do get freezing weather at night and not way down as low as you get altho there have been times when that happened. These hummers are year round for us here in western WA. I feed them year round--as I said, the hummers here do not migrate, they sometimes leave for weeks at a time but are always back in time for nesting in the early spring.
