Article: Contra Costa Times, Walnut Creek, Calif., Gary Bogue column: Culinary concerns eat at hummingbird host.

Sep. 28--Why do we keep cats? It's easier than horses.

-- Marilyn Berg Cooper

Dear Gary:

I have a hummingbird feeder that seems as popular as the local McDonald's. Is the sugar water more like a fast food restaurant a la McDonald's or more like a fine dining restaurant like the French Laundry? Is the formula just "junk food" for hummers?

Maybe you can enlighten us and recommend a formula more in line with a healthy fine restaurant.
