Having very little evidence to back this up, I'm still willing to bet
those hummers that come up to your window with that "Well?"
attitude are repeat customers. After all, banders catch the same
individual birds in nets on the same sites in subsequent years,
both migrants and breeders. I think they have pretty good memories.

Which brings me to a question. Before I learned to put the feeder out
before
I expected the birds, I'd first see them right at my window, looking in at
me
which I interpreted as "well, where's the feeder?". Are those repeat
customers from last year or did they pick my yard because they see other
type
feeders or because I have salmonberries? <
