It seems some juveniles/females feed from the same feeder and even interact with each other. Perhaps they belong to the same family. However, after sunset or on rainy days, the numbers almost double and a war erupts - every feeder has 4 or 5 hummingbirds fighting with each other. In addition, sugar water consumption nearly doubles on those days. Keeping notes on daily consumption to get a weekly average. Interestingly, early mornings nearly all hummingbirds are on flowers not feeders.
