A festive feeder
When the below freezing temperatures hit a week ago, I realized I hadn't yet bought a feeder heater for the hummingbirds. Time to improvise! I put a string of red Christmas lights (not LED) in a aluminum baking pan, placed a clear glass plate on that, and rested the feeder on the plate. These were placed on a little table next to my sliding glass door. Would the birds use it? They don't mind it! They come in to feed in the morning darkness, when it's around 20 degrees, and the nectar is still liquid. I would say my clumsy DIY is a success. Anna's Hummingbird.
