The Ruby throats just keep feeding and fighting like crazy! One day had 8, next few days only 3, next few days 4 and tonight 6. At least one male and, I think one juvenile male (think I saw a dot of red on the throat) have become extremely aggressive and constantly chase off any others attempting to feed. I Have three feeders and three of the hummers each took charge of one feeder and claimed it as his/her own. They each perched on or right beside "their" respective feeders - it's a wonder the "guards" were able to eat much themselves since they spent so much time chasing off the others.
