I have not reported every day as activity has been the same as well as same hummers on 09/22, 09/23 & today/evening (09/24). I also found out that the adult male R.T. is still here but is only coming in to steal some Sugar sol. between 6-6:30pm once or twice depending if the sub-male is on his perch or out chasing. We have enough pictures/video's so I am thinking of removing this branch just to see if we can draw more of the adult male R.T in & give him more of a chance to feed more often. Our Spray & Grow fertilizer & micronutrients have really helped our plants bloom a lot more thus extending the cycle of our plants for the hummingbirds. No signs of any visiting Rufous yet. Our total number is around 4 Hummingbirds (1 Adult Male R.T., 2 Sub-male R.T., last one is either another sub-male R.T., a female or juvi female. I cannot tell as this one gets chased so much by dominant sub-male on perch.
