Hello from NY state! We really love our hummers here and we're novice birders, still learning the ropes. I often see hummingbirds around our feeders but more often than not, they don't stop to feed at them. Why? I watch them zip and zoom from one corner of the yard to another.. often "checking in" to see if the feeders are still there, but not drinking. They know the location of all 3 feeders. Everything is fresh and I read up abt placement to ensure they are in good spots, outside of direct sun and with nearby shrubs/branches for hiding if they feel the need. Seems odd that they would fly all the way over here just to "look" at them, LOL!
