Becoming a Silent Spring-Summer-Fall

(St George Utah)
HB's are much less than before. I am very careful about prep for the sugar. I use only glass containers to store and to make the stuff. I do not boil the sugar on the stove. I pour boiling water (from a Pyrex) over the sugar. Easy.
Cannot convince neighbor to put feeder out of the sun. It is left up until it is empty. Could be weeks.
I live in Sunbrook GC. Over the years I have missed tons of wildlife. No lizards...wasps...caterpillers...plus another 15 more. That includes the ants and the cockroaches--yes. I do not spray for bugs.
BTW-I bought a new feeder (2). Easier to clean. Cost @$30 for a 4 hole.
Glad to see you interested and here in St George.
Harry
