Sister's feeders...I have really cheap ones...similar but plainer...they work OK...

FWIW...Something interesting I recently observed about hummers is they seem to learn or remember where a source of food is rather than strictly use their eyesight to find a feeder, flower etc...I have two feeders that hang on either end of the porch eaves...I recently had to move one of the feeders about 10 feet away (just further down the eave)...the hummers kept going to where the feeder had been hung...then flying right past the new location to the other feeder at the other end of the porch...

/pine - if they haven't already found the new location, try this. Let the location they know go completely dry - they will very rapidly find the new location.

I think I'm feeding half the hummers in Ea WA. I refill my two cup feeder 4X daily.

That is a very unusual bird and an extremely fortunate photo opportunity.

Nice! What state is that from?

Yes, it's white, but not a true albino.
