2 times a day now!!!! Little buggers..... Have gone through 5 gallons of sugar already. I don’t mind in fact I love them, but sheesh. Love how they will all sit together too....well some do, mostly the females, it’s the males that try to keep some from drinking, but the females will all drink together. It’s so fun watching them cause they all drink differently....I’ve counted 5 now.

1. We have them year round here in Palm Springs. They love all the flowers in our yard, especially the

Mexican Bird of Paradise plants. We also have a fountain in our front courtyard that they use as a drinking fountain.

At dusk, when it's not too hot out, we will sit outside and inevitably one of the hummingbirds will land on a nearby bush to sleep for the night.

They are very cute little buggers.

2. They're here

in western Washington pretty much year round too.
