I have had 2 hummingbird feeders kept all summer. I have 2 hummingbirds and as far as I can tell they are the buffed belly birds. They are such a treat to watch because they chase and ply with each other all day. They will sit for hours in one of our trees in front of our porch and sometimes the bees will chase them away to get to the feeders. They have been my greatest joy this summer. My camera is not the best to get pictures with they barely can be seen because of so much movement. I dream of having a really nice camera someday.

I have 2 feeders in my yard and there are so many birds, they are going through 4 feeder full a day. Must be 30 humming birds out there. Yesterday I held the feeder and they sat on my fingers to drink the nectar. Is this some kind of rare event?

We had 8-12 hummers this summer, which is twice as much as other summers. We live in eastern NC. Most have them have left but we still have 3-4 stragglers.

I have 3 feeders up and have about 3 or 4 birds. I think I have them too close together, b/c they are spending most of thier time “fighting” each other????

I’m looking for the hummingbird feeders with the wide mouth at the bottom for filling. The ads fail to point out this feature, but I know that they are available. Anybody know where?

I think they all went to Colorado this year! When I was there are vacation, I saw hundreds, if not thousands on the feeders in the little ghost town of St. Elmo!

Joyce, Don’t give up. As our blog entry stated, the moms and babies might not be ready to feed just yet. Do you have any hummingbird-friendly plants in your garden? They love trumpeting, nectar producing plants (honeysuckle, zinnia, hibiscus, butterfly bush). If you have anything like this, you might want to move your feeders to this area until you start seeing more activity.

Thank you.
