Right on cue, they are sucking down a little less than a gallon a day. I have a few dozen or more buzzing around like swarming bees.

This is the first year I don't have a garden in the last several years. I mentioned to the neighbor that I saw some nice looking 'maters in his compost pile, whilst I was mowing. He told me the damn himmingbirds were poking holes in several of his tomatoes. I think some of his frustration was directed at me for drawing so many himmingbirds around. But he didn't go so far as to blame me. I may just go buy him some fine netting to put over his 'maters to keep the little fellers off his plants. Then again, I'm not 100% convinced hummingbirds are doing the damage. I have had tomatoes and lots of hummingbirds for the past several years and never had an issue.
