We have a pair of Hummingbirds that stay at our place year round. Most hummers migrate to warmer
climates during our winter. Since we only have the two,these feeders last a month without refilling. BUT, this summer, all the Hummers in Ashland have found our feeders and the two feeders are lasting about 2 days!! I can now stand almost directly under this feeder and they buzz around so I can feel the wind of their wings! A neighbor joined me today but was frightened away because they came too close!!! These little flying machines are very territorial and actually peck a bird to chase them away. They are like a squadron of airplanes fighting each other for the right to sit and drink! There are usually at least 12 zooming in and around at 60 mph, stopping in mid-air and zooming out of sight in 2 seconds flat! These Hummingbirds are a marvel of our Creators handiwork and very fascinating to watch!!
