Hi All:



We live in Grays Harbor near Montesano and we have notice a larger group
of Rufus hummers taking advantage of our two humming bird feeders
compared to last year. Last year there were maybe two males and a
handful of females but this year there are 4 males and 8 females all
trying to sample the juice. It gets really wild around dusk when they
all show up for their last feeding of the day with a lot of noise and
positioning and everyone changing feeding slots trying to stay away from
each other. Often at the times when the feeders are at their busiest
we are able to see two hummers sharing a single spigot, one hovering
while the other perches and they each takes their turn dipping in. Very
noisy and busy compared to last year.
