Two female ruby throat hummers feeding in my front yard regularly since July. Eight ruby throats feeding in my back yard since last Friday probably includes 2 females from front. Two adult males, 6 females. The males have staked territories at turks cap and flame acanthus. The females have staked territories at 3 feeders, milkweed, Texas star hibiscus, hyacinth bean and pentas One male and one female are always together or close to each other with constant chatter. Outrageous aerial displays by all defending territories! Not as many birds as last few years. Most number was 12 in 2012. Four black chinned sighted in July 2013.
