Hey all? Any other hummingbird fans out there?
I have increased my number of feeders from 2 to 6 since COVID.
Working from home, I have really enjoyed their antics. I have about 4 dominate males in the yard most of the time and a handful of females that skirt around. One feeder is off to the side to let the females get a drink without harassment.
Today has been crazy with about a dozen birds in and out. I think the neighbor’s feeders are empty so their birds are honing in on the territory.
They are all Anna’s and they are found all over Oregon even in the winter.
They like to bug me while smoking and a few even come to the window by my desk when their feeders need attention. Some of the feeders I have need burped all the time, so I have been replacing them and trying new ones.
I have been trying to get some good pics, usual able to get much better videos, before starting this thread, but got impatient.
There is one of the younger males in a crape myrtle tree. The two at the feeder I think are the pair that had a nest in the yard this spring and tolerate me more close than the others. There is a picture of that male at the feeder after the female bailed.
Anyone else enjoy these ornery, lovable creatures?
