These Ruby-throated Hummingbirds feed just before dark to get enough food to
help them make it through the night. Hummingbirds have a very high
metabolism and need to eat often throughout the day.
Eighteen or Twenty of them were at our feeder just before dark.
Here is a link to the video. <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AI9UirLgVy4>

The quality of the video is not the best because it was shot just at dusk
(notice the time), even though it doesn't look like it in the video.
Enjoy the birds.
