I live in the northern Adirondacks. So, I fill the Hummingbird feeder and it completely disappears during the night with feeder still in tact. Over and over. It's not leaking. What's doing it. Thanks!
@Joeblow,
YES! By god, I think you got it! Just looked it up and found plenty of confirming sites. 'Bats can easily drain a hummingbird feeder.' Thank you!
@ENSTEPH,
Well there you go. Good! You're welcome
Careful about where you put the bat-room, though.
@ENSTEPH,
Make sure you clean it well, even disinfecting it with vinegar, between fillings to prevent the spread of various diseases which can infect either species.
@ENSTEPH,
did not know about bats and sugar water.
@farmerman,
Either did I — and I've read about bats in the northeast for years. I always thought it was the tropical bats that drank nectar. Interesting.
Stumble It!
