I have had a lot more this year too. But I never get more than one at a time. They chase each other away. I have feeders at 3 different windows, so they will fly around the house to find an empty feeder. I need to make more solution too.

I live hummingbirds. We had 1 visit our yard sale today. There was a red box on a table and the bird buzzed in to check it out.

Mine don't seem to eat very much, or for very long. they're so aggressive to others. There are 4-6 that hang out in the near by trees and the instant one of them goes to take a drink from the feeder, the others attack. My husband is hysterical because he keeps telling them "awwww - stop it guys, there's enough for all of you".

Try putting out more than 1 feeder at a time.

Thank You for sharing these wonderful pics! We have not had many as it has been so terribly hot this year. We have 4 feeders up and have just started seeing some this past week or so. I would love for them to hang around!!!

Holy cow! You have so many! We're content with a few every day when the bee balm is blooming. However, this year too hot for too long and bee balm kind of fried!
