                Ant Moats for Hummingbird Feeders
                --- ----- --- ----------- -------

The hummingbirds are back.

I have some ant moats I'm willing to give away to Heritage South people
(while supplies last).  You must provide your own hummingbird feeder and
hanger.  Feeders are inexpensive and are available on Amazon and at
local stores: hardware, home supply, garden supply, department, etc.  If
you want a free ant moat to use with your feeder, contact me at
jeff@jgkhome.name.

See http://jgkhome.name/Misc/Ant_Moat.htm for details about what an ant
moat is.  I build one from some hardware attached to a clear plastic jar
that originally held Talenti gelato.  You hang your hummingbird feeder
from the bottom of the ant moat and refill the moat with water whenever
required.  The water keeps ants from getting to the sugar water in the
feeder.  The moat is also a popular drinking spot for small birds, e.g.,
goldfinches and Carolina wrens as seen in pictures a short way into this
album: https://goo.gl/photos/4PqbvtijjsZtuL8j9.  There are also a couple
of hummingbird movies with sound at the very end of the album.

If you are unfamiliar with viewing a Google Photos album, see
http://jgkhome.name/Misc/Google_Photos.htm for information about making
the photos larger, navigating from photo to photo, displaying comments,
and viewing the movies.
