I do not recall a year like this. I have one extra feeder on the front porch, for my viewing pleasure from my office. Total of 4. 3 at the West end of the porch and 1 at the East end. I am not even getting a full day out of 3 of the 4 feeders. The quantity of birds is up, to be sure. But they seem to be ravenous this year. Not sure if it has anything to do with the dry spell we had or the heat or if hummingbird numbers are just up.

While it is a pain-in-the-arse to keep up with, I do get some therapy out of watching them swarm (maybe it's really the bourbon). Busy little bastages...
