I put the feeders out last week and sat on the porch swing last light with 5 or 6 buzzing around my head. They arrived at my feeders early to mid week, last week.

Always interesting to watch one or two of the dominant males try to keep other birds away from the feeders. Of course when you put up 3 or 4, he can't keep them all clear. And just like with humans, there are always a few females that aren't impressed or intimidated by some aggressive male.

And so the season begins...
