And I'm not exagerating!

I wondered why the hummingbirds who have been totally dependent on the feeders (no blossoming plants) were landing on the feeder but not drinking the nectar liquid. I changed the liquid twice in case it was a bad batch or something, but then realized as I poured the second one out that it was not the mixture but most likely the water temps. I could have made a hot cup of tea from it! My feeders were placed in the shadiest spot I could find under the eave of my house that gets no direct sun, but it's over 100 IN THE SHADE here. So the poor little hummers are no longer around. I hope they survive. I hope we ALL survive.
