I love feeding hummingbirds so from early spring to late
September they frolic and flit around my feeder. Lately, however I am experiencing a bit of a mystery. Every
morning I fill the feeder and at dusk there is till nectar in it, but by the
next morning, it is empty. This is
no one time occurrence but happening every single night!
So since the feeder is not leaking, a nocturnal visitor must
be the culprit. What could it
be? My first thought was that it
was a raccoon, but upon further investigation I am coming to believe bats are
visiting my feeder.
Anyone have this problem? I don’t know why it is-- but odd things always seem to come
my way. As it stands I am
re-filling the feeder every morning.
I have sat up late, looked out on the deck hoping to catch the little
thief in the act with no luck. Just last night the feeder was knocked off it’s
pole completely.
So, I am thinking I have no choice but to take it in and put it in the garage
every night.
Suggestions are welcome.
