Slushy but not frozen
The test of a system to keep the feeders from freezing is really low temps. So last night got down to 20 degrees Farenheit, and it was 23 when I got up at 8 am. The feeder mix was slushy. I had the lights on from 6 pm to 6 am. Maybe I should have kept them on longer. I changed the mixture and left the lights on today. The Anna's hummingbirds did not seem to mind the lights on, they continued to feed during the day. I hope this Arctic blast ends soon.
