Every birder has observed hummingbirds darting among flowers to feed on sugary flower nectar, but hummingbirds eat tiny insects and spiders too. Sugary liquids like flower nectar and tree sap along with protein-rich insects that include gnats and aphids play important roles in hummingbirds' diet, according to Zach Hutchinson, a community naturalist with Audubon Rockies. And while there are many factors that affect what a hummingbird eats, ranging from its species to where it is located and what foods are available, it's helpful to understand that a hummingbird's diet can also evolve during the season.
If you're in the market for a new hummingbird feeder, we have just re-stocked our hummingbird feeders and nectar. We invite you to stop by and them out.
Don’t battle with your backyard squirrels anymore, simply add some Cole’s Wild Bird Products Company “Flaming Squirrel Seed Sauce” to your seed. It is JMF staff recommended and a little goes a long way. #squirreldeterrent 🌶🌶🌶 #johnsonsmillingandfeed#colesbirdseed Photo credit Cole’s Wild Bird Seed ... See MoreSee Less
