Welcome to the Long Bar Saloon

As many of you know, Joey and I have a good-natured battle each year over hummingbirds attracted to our respective homes. Each year I win, but that’s beside the point this time. This is our second year using a long red plastic bar with bird-sized holes for feeding filled with nectar to further attract the hummingbirds. It works! It has worked so well that the hummingbirds seem to prefer it to the traditional hanging red glass feeder. As a bonus, it also is convenient for the orioles. The orioles are at a disadvantage in our yard due to a ravenous raccoon stealing the oranges and jelly we put out for them so I guess the Long Bar Saloon makes for their own style of happy hour.
