Want a simple way to reduce stress, improve well-being
and connect with the outdoors?
Try the art of hummingbird watching!
Connecticut boasts 3 types of native hummingbirds:
Calliope, Ruby-throated (our most common), and Rufous
It's easy for anyone, even if you've just moved into a new home and don't have a garden
or you don't consider yourself a particularly good gardener.
Hummingbirds love hanging plants such as petunias and fuchsia
and will regularly come to sip from a hummingbird feeder when filled with "nectar."
The nectar recipe is 4 cups boiling water to 1 cup regular sugar, cooled.
Do not add food coloring, as any chemicals can harm the delicate birds.
