Crazy hummingbirds!

[mrsclem]

We have multiple feeders for all types of birds but are finding the hummingbirds are extremely active just after sunrise- guess they want breakfast! This was shot just before a severe thunderstorm came thru.

Darn unavailable...........did you make it public?

 

[mrsclem]

Yes, that went on for an hour, even during the storm! 16 ports and they feel the need to fight. Trying to get a video of the strange red flashing light just off the deck. Couldn't figure out what camera problem it was. Turns out its an agressive male hummingird flashing his feathers.

I can't see the video either.

No video

 

[mrsclem]

should be visible now, not sure why it posted as private.

That is amazing. Love it.

 

[j.w]

Yep now I can see it! Boy you get lots of them at once. Mine only allow each other to do a one at a time or they only fight and never get to eat!

I thought feeding koi was expensive! had no idea how much it would cost to feed all the birds!15 pounds of sugar so far this year. Blue jays have gone thru 12 pounds of peanuts in 2 months!

lol I go through the Costco 40 lb bags of bird food constantly.
We don't get a ton of the hummer's but they do empty a fender in a few days.

The bees...........around 1200 lbs of sugar
