LAST WEEKEND WE HAD ABOUT 12 HUMMINGBIRDS WITH A COMBINATION OF RUBYTHROATED AND GREENBACKS. THEY WERE VERY AGGRESSIVE AND FIGHTING OVER OUR FEEDERS. WE HAVE 2 FEEDERS AND THE BIRDS KEPT MY HUSBAND VERY BUSY REFILLING THEM. THIS WEEKEND WE HAVE ONLY 5 BIRDS AND IT IS KIND OF FUNNY THEY SEEM TO BE FLYING REALLY HIGH IN THE SKY AND THEN COMING DOWN TO THE FEEDERS. IT IS LIKE THEY ARE PRACTICING TO FLY AWAY. THEY ARE SO INTERESTING TO WATCH. WHEN THE FEEDERS GET CLOSE TO TIME TO CHANGE THE BIRDS COME TO OUR PICTURE WINDOW AND HOVER LOOKING AT US LIKE "OKAY IT IS TIME TO GIVE US SOME FRESH SUGAR WATER."
