while vacationing in WVA a few years ago, we stopped at my GREAT Aunt's old homestead. I have never seen some many humming birds in one place! Well over 100 swarming a mimosa tree! I will never forget it!!

I wouldn't argue with her. I think we get the same ones most times.

We had one lay eggs in a bush in the yard there were three eggs and when they hatched they were the size of a bee. They all lived to fly away.
