Rufous hummingbirds, found in all but the southeast corner of the state in the spring and summer, migrate south for the winter, returning north to most regions of the state in March and April. Anna's are year-round residents in Oregon's Coast Range. To provide the most balanced diet for hummingbirds, furnish both nectar from feeders and flowering nectar plants. Their diet includes both nectar for carbohydrates and insects for protein. Protein in their diets is especially important while they are feeding youngsters.
Some folks place a peeled banana out near their feeders to attract fruit flies for hummingbirds.
Bananas can easily be placed in an old mesh onion bag. Most lawn, garden and variety stores, as well as wildlife catalog companies sell hummingbird feeders. Red-colored feeders are best, because you don't need to add red dye to the nectar solution. Multi-station feeders tend to work better than glass tube and spout feeders. Choose feeders that allow you to see when the nectar becomes moldy and needs changing.
