Very pretty male.

Every perch is taken and then they double or even triple up!

There have been dozens of humming birds swarming my feeders lately. They must be still migrating or trying to hold on until the local manzanita blooms.

I have to refill the feeders everyother day :ep

Oh, thanks so much for posting those! So cool! I miss mine already- it has been over a month since I have seen one...I get such a kick out of it- when they sit still. You can really tell how tiny they are. Another thing to look forward to, in the spring, the return of the hummingbird! Enjoy your visitors.

Those are gorgeous pictures! I have never seen that many at once. We only have a pair that is always around, even in the winter! I guess they manage to find enough things blooming since our winters are so mild.

We didn't have as many last year. Maybe only a few pairs. I think that the weird weather patterns we've had could of disturbed their regular migration. Some may have started to migrate too late and now are stuck until the manzanita blooms in late winter.

Or maybe the "word" just got around that I have full feeders :rolleyes:
