Donald-- Im not sure those are females they could be young males. All I can say is there is farmland across the street and there is woods at the end of the farmland but none very close to me. I live on a tiny lot but I must be doning something right. Yes, if the hummer had joined the others at the one dinner table I wouldve called it " party of six".
Pam-- It seems like all I do right now is make nectar for these guys. Last night I filled both these perky pet 209 feeders about half full and they are 30oz feeders, so Im thinking theres no way they are going empty either one, but they did. I make pretty big batches and keep some in the fridge. The spring/summer started slow but its looking good now. It seems the young ones mainly hang in back and the adult males hang in front especially in the evening.

Steve,
How could anyone ever get tired of seeing yur pics. They are absolutely fantastic. I could watch these birds all day long. I have many birds, but, right now they are not sharing. I have three feeders and am waiting to see more than two at a time.
KEEP POSTING. PLEASE
Judy-- Nice to hear from you. Yes, I would like to think all Ive done , all the hard work, a nice presentation and hope the hummers come and they have. But everyone does this to the best of their ability and expect results and I cant answer the reason why, just enjoy and appreciate.
Susan-- Im so sorry to hear that you dont have hummers yet, but Im hoping that you will have them soon. If I by posting my good fortune have brightened your day, then that makes me very happy, hang in there.
All I can say to anyone is if you get a few hummers, get all the feeders up you can, keep them filled and fresh and let the hummers do the rest. Also change the nectar twice a week at least if not more. Im having to fill the wally world feeders twice a day. But I must admit I let those go dry on purpose to force them to gather at the pp 209 to get this video. My routine is every night when the hummers are done , I clean and refill all that are empty or near empty so they will be ready at dawn when they arrive.
