Winter Hummingbird Information
I've had longstanding questions about the Anna's hummingbirds which overwinter here in the Pacific Northwest (and along much of the Pacific coast). How dependent are they on our feeders? By feeding them in the winter, are we making them unnaturally dependent on our feeders? When other food sources are less available, as they are in the winter, would it be wise to feed hummers a commercial solution of nectar which provides added nutrients, or should we continue to feed a solution of one part sugar and four parts water, as we do the rest of the year? I consulted an expert, Sheri Williamson, author of the recently published Peterson's Guide to Hummingbirds of North America. Sheri's response is included here in its entirety.
