I have had as many as three Anna's Hummingbirds for about three or four
weeks at our house in downtown Puyallup. We are less than half a mile as
the, errr... hummer flies, from the Puyallup River. Not much of a river
there, more of a big muddy ditch.

Anyway, I've got two feeders up and I'm doing my best to keep them clean and
filled.

One of the hummers, I believe it is a juvenile male, seems to be dominant.
It sits on prominent branches near the feeders vocalizing, and chases off
the others whenever he sees them. That's why I put the second feeder out of
sight of the first!

are
to stand by the president, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and
servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public."
