Utah Bob #35998 Posted July 25, 2022 Share Posted July 25, 2022 As soon as a scheduled delivery gets here. Hopefully before dark. Need some warranty stuff done and the newest Subaru dealer is over there. So I’ll spend a day or two or three there. My calendar is pretty clear. Before I go here’s a few more hummer pics.

Dawg Hair, SASS #29557 Posted July 26, 2022 Share Posted July 26, 2022 Blows me away how they can fly with such little wings. No wonder they have to flap them so fast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Finagler 6853 Life Posted July 26, 2022 Share Posted July 26, 2022 Fascinating creatures. We get Ruby Throated hummers. We go through about a pint and a half of "sauce" a day. It isn't unusual to see 10 - 12 buzzing about the feeders. I saw something Sunday I hadn't seen before. Usually a male will guard the feeder and only let females and young birds feed from it. The males must have been on next duty because I didn't see many. One female had what looked to be a juvenile feeding from the same opening she was using at the same time she was. This juvenile actually landed on her back to continue feeding. Hummers a very protective of their feeding station. Had to be one of her brood.

But she has 6-8 feeders, all within 20’ of each other Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Sage, SASS #49891 Life Posted July 27, 2022 Share Posted July 27, 2022 We used to have a place in Baja and a neighbor had about 20 feeders. There were hundreds of hummers fighting over them. Noisy and they crap all over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
