Hummingbird and Butterfly Gardening: Hummingbirds in the Southeast yet?, 1 by rouxcrew

They love my desert willows, my Cowpen daisies, cosmos, and occasionally my salvia. It is easier for them to tank up at the feeders, and when they get here they are extremely hungry. I have been told that individuals hang around for a while at a "rest stop", resting and storing up for the next long jaunt across the Gulf. So we try to keep feeders full this time of year, adding more as the hummer numbers increase. Right now I have four quart size feeders up and will add two to three more soon. The biggest problem we have is getting enough stations, we can have every one full and more hovering, waiting for an opening.
In the spring they are more relaxed and take time at more of my flowers.
