Well, the rufus hummers are going full force now. We've got two feeders up
with three males and two females having been sighted so far. Haven't been
able to spot their nests yet, but I'm pretty sure they're working on them in
the woods nearby. Lots of action!

We have the feeders separated by the house to keep some semblance of peace
but they are feisty little guys and chase everything - including us. Spent
the weekend getting dive bombed while planting flowers around the birdbath.
Great fun!
