Hand-Feeding Hummingbirds
1-3 pm. Naturalists have been feeding hummingbirds at Lake Hope
State Park since 1995. A combination of commercial feeders and
natural tube flowers are used. Visitors can learn about
Ruby-Throated Hummingbirds and attempt to hand feed them!
Stop by anytime during that period to give it a shot. No
reservations are required and our hummingbird program is free of
charge but we strongly encourage donations to the Friends of Lake
Hope. Parking is located near the nature center. Hand-feeding of
Ruby-Throated Hummingbirds at Lake Hope began when Naturalist
Dave Sapienza was replacing a filled feeder and a hummingbird
zoomed in for a drink. A few visitors began attempting to feed
hummingbirds by hand in 2001 and in 2002 the program became
official. For the next couple of years, the program drew a lot of
attention from park visitors and from Ruby-Throated
Hummingbirds! As many as 10 feeders were maintained by the
nature center's staff, being cleaned and refilled daily. As much as
80 pounds of sugar were used each summer. By 2006, the
program had grown to out of control proportions as the media
caught on to the event and featured it in The Cleveland Plain
Dealer, Cincinnati Enquirer, Columbus Dispatch, Ohio Magazine,
Birds and Blooms, Better Homes and Gardens and Midwest Living.
The program was also featured on television's WSAZ in Huntington,
WV and the Ohio Division of Wildlife's PBS show, Wild Ohio.
