Just a note for those of you who have hummingbirds not getting along.
We have 1 female (today) that sticks around waiting to chase out newcomers. Comes in off and on sitting in Desert willow tree. A hummingbirds thing is to 'dubs,' flowers especially feeders. We see juevenille male rubythroats are the worst as well as juvenile Rufous.
Four of us that put out feeders in the neighborhood helps out the adult males that stay for a week fueling to migrate out. I can see males sitting up in trees above the feeders waiting to fight another hummingbird off.

If you want your hummingbirds to get along put feeders on opposite side of house in Ooltewah...TN
