The video doesn't do justice to how many there really are here at the house. It's getting hard to go into the house....j/k.

We have one feeder with 4 feeder holes. At one time I saw 2 birds a piece on 3 of the holes and 1 bird on the last hole = 7 birds total at one feeder. Didn't get a picture of that, but here is one of two birds in the same hole on the left and the two in the same hole on the right. Look how it hovers above the one sitting on the perch.


















We have 4 feeders in the front of the house and 2 in the back yard. Tracie says she wants to REALLY load up on the feeders for next year.

After a little research I see that some of the hummingbirds are banded. Now I'm looking for a band to report where these little guys/gals have stopped for a drink of nectar.
