I'm now finally here in Washington State - on the North Olympic Peninsula to be exact - is it too soon to hang our feeder up yet? The weather here has been glorious just recently so I'm hoping the hummers arrive soon. :)
What street are you located on? I used to live out on Wakonda Beach Road, and had the hummers coming in my house all the time. Now, I go where the Navy takes me.
We are located off Hwy. 34 around the 4 mile marker. We have the Anna's Hummingbirds all year. Looking forward to February and seeing the first male Rufous arrive marking the beginning of the 2010 migration. Wishing you well and enjoy your TOD.
Thanks for sharing this! I'm moving from the UK to Washington State this year and the house where I'll be living now has feeders outside and rufous hummers visiting - can't wait to see them for real!
Best hummer wishes for your new home in WA. You will also have Anna's Hummingbirds all year so keep your feeders filled and cleaned even during the winter months. The best solution is 4 cups of water to 1 cup of sugar. The hummers also prefer C&H pure cane sugar rather than beet sugar. Happy Humming!
Thank you so much for your good wishes! :-) My husband in WA has also mentioned Anna's hummers before, so we're hopeful we can attract them too! I shall make sure I follow your advice with the cane sugar. Thanks and all the best!
They are called "humbrellas" by Aspects. They run about $25 each and have a lifetime guarantee. Google "humbrella" and you can find the best price. Amazon carries them.
This is an amazing video!

I had no idea that we could experience the same sort of large hummingbird groups in Oregon that people in Arizona and New Mexico do! This is great!

Awesome video! Where did you get those metal rain covers? I just bought my 1st feeder, and would love to get one for mine.

It was taken in Waldport, Oregon. Thank you. I just added that information to the video.
