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?

They have several sites, many of which follow the nesting and raising of young, along with info on the habits of some species.
Most of the sites have specie histories, identification information and more about lifestyles and habits.
I've followed about 5-6 years of Red-Tailed Hawks rearing new chicks on the Cornell campus site. From time-to-time they follow condor chicks from hatch to mature (takes about 9 months compared to the hawks 5-7 week fledging time).
Anyway- lots of hummingbird viewing!
