Wow!! I have a friend that's been feeding hummers for decades. He speaks of action like that, and he claims they get along pretty well.


In my wildest dreams, I don't think I'll get so many at the same time....I've had 4 or 5 in my yard, fighting over 3 feeders. I wonder if your wooded area gives them more nesting space than I have?



Someone once told me to multiply the number of birds you see at any given time, by 4. This should tell you how many you actually have in your space.

4? I think he´s wrong. Mr. Robin had a ride inside my cap in a roller coaster over at Carrol´s Inn. Now that is crap, go tell me. Mr. BlueJay was another dude. Hell, I even built him one nice home out of this plastic gallon milk bottle. 2 weeks upon that he was already gone.

In this instance, I was talking about hummingbirds....they seem to have personality clashes, and constantly chase each other off.


Thus, you rarely see the whole group at one time...that's what makes Gonzo's video so special.

Well, I read it about 4 times, and I still can't figure out exactly what you meant.


I just thought it was because I was on my first cup of coffee, at the time

I'm going to post a bunch of hummer pics, but most of them are out of focus because my darned camera won't focus worth a crap on zoom when it's overcast. The deal is...some of them are a good look at hummer behavior, and that's why I'm bothering. Here's the first that's a "face off".



Trying to pick up chicks... "Hey baby, come here often?"



The usual frenzy at each feeder..





More to come...got a call..
