This guy bosses up the patio feeder, chases anything that moves!
I have three feeders in areas that are secluded from the others.

Cute picture. :-)

My mom used to stay and watch the feeders, and squirt the bullies with a
light spray of the garden hose. Not enough to hurt them, just enough to
chase them off!

We ran 3 one liter feeders when we lived in California. Mom had to fill
them twice per day sometimes.

I've got to find those 35mm pictures of up to 30 birds around the
feeders and scan them.....

Some of the hummers would come and hover in front of the living room
windows when the feeders got empty. Smart little birds!

Thanks Om, would love to see your photos. Where abouts did you live in Calif.?

There is a little old man that lives down in Vista that has fify feeders &
he said that when the migrating hummers come back up they know his place & there
are so many at one time you can here them, like bees.

I'm just hoping that they are not in the album my sister kept..
I need to check the one I have here.

Where abouts did you live in
Calif.?

Up in the mountains above Lancaster. We were on a migratory flightpath.
The hummer also nested in the 3 big live oak trees in the front yard.

The mating flights of the Anna's, Rubythroats and Rufus's were neat to
watch. Little showoffs. G

We also saw them eat gnats.

Fifty feeders? My kind of guy!

We had a guy walking up the street near our place ask us what all those
bugs were once. He thought they were bumblebees? shrugs

If you ever get a chance to visit the San Diego zoo, they have a walk in
aviary and the hummers in it are very tame. So are the Orioles.
