Been seeing more Ruby-throated Hummers around - only females, though.

1- I planted some Cardinal Climber vines out by the birdbath and the R-t Hummers frequent the red trumpet-shaped flowers regularly. There's a female in the center of the frame.

2- Of course, one will be at the porch feeder and shortly another comes diving by to drive it away. I sit on my porch and enjoy the aerial combat - they zoom by within a foot on me sometimes. I can't ever remember seeing two+ hummers share a feeder.

3- She sure likes the feeder. I've tried other kinds of feeders (with the upside bottles) but this one is the one I like the most - doesn't ever leak. If you look in the background of the photo, you can see the raindrops. The hummers come and go, even in the rain.
