- There are hummingbirds present the year round in the San Francisco Bay Area.
- I am sure that is the case in San Diego also.
- It is important to change the feed before it goes bad and to clean the
- feeder thoroughly between fillings.
-
- A 36 page booklet on observing and feeding hummingbirds is available for
- US$2.50 + 1.00 shipping from:
- Louise G. Blakey (415) 948-8930
- 625 Teresi Lane
- Los Altos, CA 94022
-
- Also included is an extensive listing of plants that hummingbirds feed from
- and nurseries that sell them.
- The San Diego Zoo has a hummingbird aviary in Balboa Park.
