[Birdtalk] Humming Birds

[Milt Moody]

Hi Bryant,

I've had more hummingbirds than ever this year.  A couple of days ago I had six females at one feeder with only 4 flowers, playing musical chairs. They're draining my feeders in record time.  No decrease this year in my neck of the  woods at least.

Have a good one,
Milt Moody
