TN-Birders:
For about a week my numbers of
adult male Ruby-throats
seemed to be down.

However, I wasn't spending as much time where I could see the feeders or the 
patio flower bed
For two days I saw no more than one adult male at a time.  Then I was seeing no 
more than four adult males at a time.

For three days I have been spending more time looking out windows and have been 
astonished to see more adult males.  This morning I concentrated and twice 
counted fifteen adult males in one field of vision - from one window.  

I still have hundreds of the gorgeous rubies.
I haven't been sitting on the patio
but when I walk out to water flowers
they fly so close to me that frequently their wings touch my hair and cheeks.  
It used to remind me of Beatty's controlled access feeders in Miller Canyon - 
AZ.
While we are limited to Ruby-throats
the numbers of individual hummers are greater here.

When I return a clean/ filled feeder (I have nine feeders up) they are all 
around me waiting for that feeder to be put back up.
