FROM THE WILD SIDE
Give Hungry Hummers a Helping Hand • Many hummingbirds make the long trip from Mexico or Central America to as far north as Canada every year and will be showing up in gardens along the route soon.

Follow these feeding tips to keep hummingbirds visiting your garden year after year.
