As of yesterday .. we have three hummers here. There's a mating pair .. and one other male. Which incidently - is undoubtedly, no new-comer !! .. He's actin' like he knows the place - and very well !!! This feller flies to the same perchin' spot in the same few particular trees, and under the porch to sit on the plant hangin' brackets too! Makes his way around the house, to check out the back porch - but we've not put up any hummer feeders around there yet. Wanted to wait a bit .. to see what the two around front draw in, over the next couply weeks or so.

This 'debonair' feller with the 'tude .. is jes much too familiar with things here and about! He's jes gotta be one of the Roosts' prior visitors ... The other two, seem at a loss of sorts, and aren't quite sure if we pose a threat, or what, jes yet. The other feller .. jes don't seem to give a hoot, either way! .. lol ..

Could never master getting a shot of all three feudin' over the two feeders hangin' on the front porch. The dynamic duo are jes too engrossed in each other to pause long near the porch. Let alone, gettin' half-a-chance, to feed for any significant amount of time .. But, did manage to get a few shots of mr. Ben Around .. in his tux and red bow tie, dining elegantly! .. LOL ..
