We have a single feeder on our back porch that daily attracts as many as 35 Ruby-Throated Hummingbirds at a time. That is the highest number of them that I have been able to count at one time at the feeder. Possibly there are more residing here at this time but I have only seen 35 together at any one time. The first sighting of 2010 was 4/19 and it was a solitary adult male who was joined the following day by two additional adult males. The quantity increased daily until leveling off about July 10. Since that time they have consumed one quart of nectar every 24 to 48 hours and are amazing to watch as they feed.
