Holy cow, the hummingbirds are already here in central Indiana and we've
been having very cold nights! Is there anything I can do to help out the
little guys besides making sure my feeder is full with fresh food everyday?

If you are inclined to use pesticides to kill aphids, hold off until
insect food sources become more abundant. Hummingbirds love to eat
aphids and easily get sick from ingesting even small amounts of
pesticides.

to be sized)

It wouldn't hurt to leave little pieces of string and cotton and fluffy
stuff stuck on a fence or tree to provide them nest-building materials
if they choose to settle down.
