I have 3 suction cup feeders on 3 different windows. Another feeder hangs in front of a fourth window. The 3 window feeders have seen 3 to 5 hummingbirds jockeying for position and each claiming the feeder for themselves for several weeks. Fill all feeders daily and at times, twice a day. I make my own "nectar" using table sugar. However, some neighbors use the red commercial nectar as I see the red stains from hummer droppings on the siding beneath the windows. Haven't seen a male in over a week. Will have migrant males stopping by as late as Oct 5 each year.
