Speaking of Hummingbirds,

I have had a hummingbird feeder up in my backyard for a couple of years now. Ever since seeing an Anna's humming bird in my yard in December, three years ago.. They were interested in hardy fuschia flowers which somehow were still hanging on.

Normally, I have to refill the feeder about every ten days or so. Recently it seems to take only four or five days. And there are still fuschias and other flowers they would be interested in.
Wonder if the hummers at other feeders seem to be taking more sugar water than usual. I haven't seen more than the two birds that are usually around.
