Past three days nectar consumption near 50ml / day average.

Observed RTHB drink in-flight at feeder for about 10 seconds, not too hefty looking near noon time. Later at least two RTHBs around feeder, brief chases, one with long beak perched on power line above for a few minutes. Mid-afternoon, observed at least 3 RTHBs flying all around me and the area, chattering, chasing each other and using feeder, two landed on power line and faced off. 71F, sunny, East light wind.

Picture from early evening is possibly a juvenile female, with long curved beak, no wing notches apparent, yellow hips, light grayish-green back with spruce blue showing down center of back, and beginning to show some weight gain.
