I have a hummingbird feeder in the window of my living room that has attracted hummingbirds the last couple of years it's been in place.....This year, I added a wild bird feeder about 15 feet away....Will that feeder and it's activity scare the hummingbirds away? I ask because I haven't seen a hummingbird yet.....Thanks!

At 15 ft. away the new feeder should not bother the hummingbirds. I have seen many yards with similar arrangements.

Thanks to you and Tony......I've had the hummingbird feeder out for about 3 weeks now and was starting to get worried.... :D

I noticed that all three of us are from McKinney. Any thoughts on getting together for a visit? I'll offer my place first.

I'm game....My social calendar is full for the next couple of weeks (work, camping trips, family) but that would be great....

BTW, I saw my first hummingbird of the season yesterday!
