Hummingbirds
They go thru 2 cups of sugar in 1.5 days & are like if you slapped a wasp nest when you let one go dry.
Are your's demanding more?
Trying to remove the feeder that had some left
but when I tilted it to get the hook off
three landed and started guzzling with a large air battle in the background.
Some threw a leak as they flew close by me for protection.[xx(]
Thanks you beautiful little bastages....[B)]
The colors are off the hook.[:)]
The wife has saved three wrens in about 5 years time.
Every year the same lineage has babies in a birdhouse on the deck.
My face and body within one foot now while they feed the little ones.
Wife has a soft catch set up for flight training as in years past.
The squirrels would eat from your hand if you would let them.
In poor range condition they dont mind hamming it up when begging.
Rocksquirrels are back too.
gotta love spring
gotta love the country

The little warriors are passing through and I must have an X on my mail box. I have never had as many as this year, I'm filling the feeders sometimes twice a day. A sinister thought is, what a way to improve your shotgun prowess. Here's a couple poor pictures through my screened in porch. There are at least 20-30 or more at a time on the three feeders.

Put a Hummingbird swimming pool on the ground so they can have a resting spot and a place to cool off. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YAer4rDnA6I0 -
I really enjoy seeing them at our feeder and flowers over summer. But we?re now going through about half the volume of food per week. Soon it will be a quarter.
Time for them to head south.
Brother in law has them throughout the winter at his place in AZ. Have seen them drinking water from his fountain and at his flowers.
I?m thinking that the hummingbirds May be onto something.
Though their Gulf of Mexico migration bothers me.0 -
What a fantastic experience! 0 -
Ours are all gone now. 0 -
We have 2 of these feeders for the Hummingbirds and they stay full of birds from daylight to sundown. This photo was taken last year and there's even more of them this year. Sometimes they all get along and feed together like in the picture and other times they fight like crazy. 0 -
I liked the video after that hummer pool. Egg to flight https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s-PR0Egcm8k0 -
The hummingbirds are beautiful creatures. The worlds smallest birds. A joy to behold. 0 -
Black-chins and Broadtails, Smitty. Same as we have here.
My resident families are gone. The males left with the August full moon, and the females went last week with the September one. I've tracked their departure dates for years and it always coincides with the full moon.
It's important to keep your feeders up until at least the first hard frost. You'll be providing vital energy to migrators, many of which starve on the way simply because flowers are wilting. That old myth about forcing them to go by removing feeders is criminal. It kills them.0 -

Looks like the Hummingbird nest is in the persons house, Den or living room? A bird making a nest inside an occupied house, amazing.0 -
we have 6 to 8 at our house in Northeast Arkansas now 0 -
My Okra is still blooming like crazy, the cotton some-what still blooming.....the Hummingbirds are going crazy around here. 0 -
was actually a poor year for us. About one to two average a day. Usually we have as many as 6 to 8 at the feeder all day long. Wonder why they didn't come around this year. Look, I know NJ taxes are high and everyone hates this state, even us, but I have never know a hummingbird to pass up a free meal. Wonder what makes them change course year to year. 0
