My hummer crowd seems to be topping out at about 14 birds visible at one time,
on occasion. Four feeders, three small hourglass shaped ones and one large one
with a sort of bulbous red container. The hummers seem to prefer the small
feeders ( I have removed the "bee guards" until Yellowjackets become a problem)
with four birds feeding at once and others waiting in line for their chance. I
happened to look toward my fig tree which has figs about the size of the
average lemon and noticed two hummers fighting over the chance to sip at a hole
in an over ripe fruit. Those things (over ripe figs) sometimes get sorta
acoholic smelling. I hope I don't send any intoxicated hummers off to fly
across the Gulf of Mexico!
