I am still changing the two hummingbird feeders I have every day and sometimes twice a day. There are many hummers coming here looking for food sources. I don't mind at all. Actually I am glad to be able to help the little critters. The boss (dominant male) who has lived here for two years now doesn't really like it but he doesn't have a lot of alternatives. For instance, yesterday I saw many hummingbirds in the garden, although three in particular came to my view. The boss attacked a male that was trying to sample the feeder on the south side of the garden. The male that was eating flew away with the boss in pursuit. Then the third male who was on the other side of the garden next to the feeder there, flew to the first feeder and started to leisurely feed off that feeder for a minute or two. This ended abruptly when the boss came back. I have seen something like this going on for hours. Everybody takes a turn to eat using this method...LOL.

HAVE A GOOD DAY!!!

Thanks,

Chuck
