Post #626084

I have read in the past about the dangers of leaving the feeders out too long. The hummers are deprived of the natural waning of the nectar and a change in the quality, which is their way of knowing when to migrate. But I don't know of a good source for this information. Does anyone know the best way to begin cutting back so they won't get trapped in cold weather?


Question answered, very good!
