They're Back

I figure I had around 200 birds the other day, I have been using 1.5 gallons of juice every 3 days. I've used 24#'s of sugar in 3 weeks.

Wow, you do have a bunch! I have really enjoyed watching my feeders as well. I am going through a half gallon every 3 days myself. Thanks for the post.

Looks like they are getting ready for the long trip south.

Wow that's amazing, I am amazed to see all of yours drinking at the same time. The one's we get here will fight each other constantly and seems like only 1 is allowed to drink at a time.

We have 5 feeders and go through about 1 gallon/4-5 days. I've counted about 20 at a time but don't know how many are in the area. They'll swarm like cc06's video, and then as if on signal will zip away, only to swarm again later. They're sure fun to watch.

My sister has 2 feeders. Most of the time they only drink out of one of them, because one of the hummingbirds is territorial. It sits on top of the other feeder, and runs all the other ones off when they try to use it. Entertaining to watch them.

iIf you can count 20 on feeder you have 3 to 4 times that many birds if you put enough feeders close together they can't fight as much and you have more that can feed. I counted around 40 on feeders but its hard to keep track at one time

amazing I get to watch a few up here but nothing like that

They're gone! Yesterday I counted 20 at a time but today 10 is the most I've seen. Seems the cool front has pushed them south.
