I love hummers. I would love to see a hundred at a time. I have had my feeders out front for the last 2 weeks now. I heard one so I went in and got the feeders ready immediately.I have only seen two so far this year. But they are definitely hungry, because I need to refill again. I usually refill about every third day, because we normally don't have but about 4. One year we had at least 6-8. That year I had out 4 feeders two in front and two in back, we had greens, a Rufus, blacks, ring necked and a little speckled one. We had a Rufus for two years. For the last two years we have only had greys and white ring necked, and once in a while a green one. I love to sit and watch them fight over their feeders. They are extremely territorial, or the ones that come here are anyway.
Last year a little ring necked one, came right up to me and buzzed my head as if asking where it's food was. The feeder was empty. I have had them come to both the front and back storm door, and look in especially when the feeder is empty.
I try to replenish it every other day in the summer, so it will stay cool.
I have some great photos of them feeding and perching in one of our trees. I get my camera ready and have some great shots just after sunup in the morning. I have taken a chair out front and just sat with my camera to get terrific shots.
I love those little critters.
I am dying to make a hummer quilt, maybe get time next year, have too many lined up for Christmas this year, that I need to get done.
