So ,,each spring around the end of April, hummingbirds start showing up in my yard. They have been coming here for the past 8-9 yrs..had a few the first couple yrs then every yr after that more and more came,,,I put out 3 feeders close to the house near my windows,,Yes I love Hummingbirds,,I can sit and watch them all day,,gives me great opportunities to get fantastic close up pictures and videos..this video taken not too long before dark tonight when the little hummers are all fighting and trying to fill up before they settle for the night,,,and this is just at one of my feeders,,,Enjoy

cheetah,,it is just like that at all my feeders in the evening,,the one closest to my kitchen window ,,during that time I can put my hand right out by the feeder and hummingbirds will land on it,,the only thing they seem to care about is eating right before dark..check out this picture

Wow, that is soo awesome !
What is your secret?
What do you feed them?

It is just sugar water,,,1 c sugar to 2 c boiling water to disolve the sugar,,let cool and fill feeders...costs a lot for sugar during hummingbird season ,,but thats OK by me,,,

Great video Cindy! I thought I had a lot at my old place.. at least 6 of them that would come every day. Isnt it funny watching them chase eachother around!!

Turtle ,,if you go out and walk around my yard all you will hear is the hummingbirds zinging here and there,,I would estimate at least 100 of them around here,,all three of my feeders look like that each night before dark...they are really sucking the syrup down now,,and costs me a pretty penny on the sugar we go through making the syrup..But I love it,,,
