Loving the hummers all.

Lin, you have hummers this summer!! Don't worry, they'll multiply & then that female will have to share her territory.

We have more hummies this year. I think it may be babies that were born here & have now grown up & so they come back here every year. One thing is for sure ~~~ they are sucking up the syrup faster than ever before!

Yes Lin, keep feeding those hummies and they will likely multiply and return year after year! Then you will be filling those feeders everyday!

flaflwrgrl, I knew you would have more hummingbirds this year too!!

I started with just a couple of visiting hummies about seven years ago and now I can't even begin to count how many there are!! Dozens for sure but probably over fifty of them. I'm cleaning and filling four feeders twice a day, that's about 12 cups of nectar = 3 cups of sugar per day! I'm committed now, they come looking for me if I let the feeders go empty!
