Our challenge now is that all they do is battle for control of the feeders. As soon as one hummingbird lands one or two others will swoop in to push em off. Its constant. I think there are at least half a dozen flying around out there and all they do is make sure no one else gets to the feeders.

Sometimes in late dusk we will see one successfully land and feed.

Anyone got any insights into hummingbird behavior?
I love seeing them....we don’t have a feeder, but they are attracted to the 14 window boxes surrounding the deck. We usually have to settle for one at a time....lovely little creatures.
