When planning a hummingbird garden, think about locating it somewhere you can observe without disturbing them.
The distinctive red beak is one of the identifiers of this broad-billed hummingbird as it perches in a Palo Verde tree at the home of Kristin Joseph in Glendora on Tuesday, Feb. 27, 2024. After Joseph took advantage of local rebates to replace her lawn with native and drought-tolerant plants her new garden began attracting variety of local birds, humming birds, bees and a variety of other pollinators. Q. I really enjoy seeing hummingbirds in my yard every summer.
A good place would be right outside a kitchen window. Birds require a food source, clean water, perching and nesting sites. The sound of trickling or running water is irresistible to birds, especially during the hot summer months. A plain old birdbath is okay but think about adding a solar-powered pump to generate more interest. A spill fountain that provides areas of shallow moving water is especially attractive and will also give the birds a place to bathe themselves.
Placing a trellis nearby and allowing flowering vines like clematis or Dutchman’s pipe to climb also provides a safe place for hummingbirds to hide out and adds an element of height to the garden.
