We have got 25-30 birds every day. it's keeping me busy filling the feeders. They pass thru every fall going south.
can't tell if they are passing .lol there are swarms at times . filling bottles at least once a day .
My sister has 20-30 around her house nearly daily.
They start moving south in mid september. If you have extras now, they are from the north. A few won't move on if food is there. I've had them here at Thanksgiving.
Here's a article on them little beggers. You was in the danger zone taking them pics. It comes out the back end about as fast as it goes in their beaks!Nice pics!Migration Basics
Have quadrupled in number here in the last 2 weeks. Eaten me outa house and home.
Ours did the same, not as many today tho.Quote:

That's cool Eagle, some of my neighbors feed them a lot of nectar everyday, I love to watch them. BTW where did you get those roll up blinds that you got on that porch, I need some of them on my patio to block the evening sun.
these are durable ,easy to clean . made from pvc material . flexible like a screen . came from home depot (tupelo) sure they all have /can get .
I've only had about 10 summer residents this year. I have 4 feeders I'm filling about once per week. I expect to see a surge during fall migration though.
They drink almost a gallon a day here in oklahoma!

I wish mine would behave like yours. Mine all seem to be real aggressive. Maybe I need to lighten up on the sugar:Rofl
Love to sit on the patio and watch them very entertaining.
