Still not as much activity as in previous years. I believe I have two mature males,one mature female and two juveniles coming to my flowers and feeders. One of the juveniles is a male with the first ruby feathers starting to grow on its throat. The other I am identifying as a youngster because of its behavior. It is very curious and keeps trying to nectar at flowers that an adult wouldn't bother with. They are consuming roughly 9 oz. of sugar water every two days. In previous years sugar water consumption would be something like 12 oz. a day by now.
