again we digress.

why would one choose to feed hummingbirds processed sugar? when they eat nectar from plants (as they evolved to do) they get not only the nectars but also pollen and a delicious assortment of bug body pieces. no sugar-water concentration is representative of all flower nectars that hummingbirds eat.
just call the birdfeeder on soquel (not a plug! not a plug!...don't buy anything) and ask them what their hummingbird food consists of. it's not sugar water.

I personally would contribute to and support a deer rescue like the horse rescue in carmel. betcha those same folks (the horse rescue ppl) would too.
