We do, yes. It's a combo deal here I think; "bottomless" feeders, lots of flowers that meet their needs, lots of fresh-water sources, and the undisturbed woods next door for nesting. This summer their numbers were surreal. No kidding... there were 40 to 50 birds in our yard every morning and evening during the peak months of June and July! Averaging 10 birds at each feeder. Simply amazing! When we left for vacation I made ahead 5 gallons of food (for 8 days away!
) so that it would be easier to keep the feeders filled.
When we first moved here 18 years ago there weren't any hummingbirds, so just keep on planting for them and they will come.
A small fountain that audibly splashes will bring them in as well. I run two here; one at ground level for the woodland critters and ground birds, and one at hip-to-shoulder height in the favored hummingbird area of my yard. They love it.
Here, all ports are full, there are three more trying to bounce out the sippers, and out of the frame another was waiting on the fence.
I even saw two sipping simultaneously from the same port this year. They must have been family...I'd never seen that before.
