[Birdtalk] Hummingbirds

[Roostertael at aol.com]

Hi,
 
David Wheeler writes that there is a lot of interest in Rufous  Hummingbirds. 
I'll say. I have been feeding hummers since the early 1980's and  this is the 
most birds I have had at once. I have no idea how many are here, but  I have 
two eight ounce feeders and I have to fill them each evening. There  are three 
or four around each one almost constantly. I thought about  putting up a 
couple more, but since I want to take pictures I have resisted. 
 
The "resident" Black Chins seem to be holding their own. They get chased  
away a lot, but do some chasing of their own. 
 
I had one adult male Rufous, but he probably has left. This seems normal.  An 
adult male is here for a couple of days each year and then gone.  This time I 
was ready with the camera and got one good photo. Milt should be  posting it 
soon.
 
Fun, fun, fun.
