It looks like you attracted an entire state-full of hummingbirds! Wow!
WOW, that is unbelievable, I’ve never seen so many feeders and hummers in one place.. thanks for the great footage… Kym
Yes, they come in all colors and sizes. The red ones are actually more of an an orange or rust color. They are the rufous…
I’ve never seen red looking ones before. All we have are green hummers.
The local bar for humming birds! LOL
awesome…..
This reminds me of a beehive.
I was happy to read(well, not actually *happy*! lol) that others have noticed a drop in the amounts of hummers they have seen this year also. My population is down by at least half. Not sure why. I live in CA near Yosemite Park. We havent had much in the way large fires near us, but our weather has been really off! Much cooler than usual, getting late start for springs and so forth. I am suspecting that is was something that interrupted the normal migration pattern, just not sure. :(
@cmrsf1 I just love your hummers I m in Ga. and have a few see them at 1beavergreaser my hummers Thanks great video
We are down in numbers this year, too. At our peak we had 18 feeders. We think it had to do with the drought we were going through (gone now!) and all the wildfires we had in the region that created so much smoke. Where are you located? Sounds like you’re doing great with 11 feeders. We’ve found that they like congregating together, despite their rough antics toward one another…
I thought I was king of the hummingbirds until I saw your video. I guessed last year that I had about 100-150 birds each evening. I have 11 feeders, but spread them out about every 15 feet. This year I seem to have only about half the amount of birds. I would guess that you easily have 300+ birds here. You have to consider how many aren’t even showing up in the video.
i live in canada mabe see 1 or 2 a year i wish we hade more
I wish I could send you several packets of sugar
Wow!! That’s amazing. I’ve never seen that many in one place at the same time, ever!!
You must spend most of your time making nectar and filling the feeders. :)
Thanks for sharing the bounty!!
amazing vid
so what was that one you zoomed in on, the one with the longer bill?
wow! year ’round hummers! That’s great. We at least get a break during the winter months. I have seen where folks use chicken feeders to increase the amount of nectar they can put out but we have not tried that. Might be the solution for when we want to be gone for a while, at least we wouldn’t need someone to come on a daily basis….
We also have a tremendous number of hummers; refilling 11 one quart feeders once a day (some of the feeders 2X). During the winter we can go down to 5 one quart feeders every other day. Have you tried making a 7 gallon feeder, just wondering how it worked (there is a utube of one)? Best wishes – John.
@cmrsf1 i want to share this site with humm people friends.. just amazing..
that is my favorite feeder also
