Wow- how'd that many show up?

For some reason they are swarming like bees here. I think there isn't that much blooming anymore right now and the feeders are the only place they have to feed. At one time there were at least ten coming around that one feeder and we have three feeders here.

The first pic won't load on my PC. Bummer. But looking at the 2nd shot, wow. I haven't seen that many hummingbirds together ever. They must be hungry and food scarce as they are territorial. Great capture.

I like .. I only have two at a time at my feeder..

VaughnA · 09-12-2010, 07:23 PM

Wow! That's wild. If more than one are at the feeder it's a dogfight around here.

I've never seen a flock of them. Usually the dominant one will chase any competitor away. Very cool capture!
