["Tommy Curtis" <tcbirdwatch@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Today (Tuesday) about 7:00 p.m. a second mature male Ruby-throated Hummingbird 
came to the opposite side of the feeder where the one that arrived Friday was 
drinking.  When the first bird saw him, he immediately went on the attack and 
drove him away.  But we have feeders spaced around the deck and the new arrival 
found one out of sight of the one by the picture window and got some needed 
sugar water before dark.  We also had two Yellow-rumped Warblers in the yard 
today, so this storm must have encouraged some movement into our area.  Maybe 
it will bring some hummers who have learned to share!
