Only female hummingbirds at the feeder
#3
I see three at my feeder, how do you tell the difference? The three that I see pretty much look the same except one seems more agressive and keeps the other two away from the feeder. I have considered putting up another feeder.

They are all getting ready to migrate this time of the year, lots of activity as they are filling up for the long trip south. I will have to pay attention tomorrow and see if the males are gone here to, also a Warren County resident. Lace

the article above in from South Carolina, so I would think they are getting ready or already leaving NY & NJ areas.

do you know the more feeders you put up the more birds you will get?
