This little girl just wouldn't leave. She was perfectly fearless, so I got a lot of shots of her.

Hello beautiful!
Ooo Aaa ,nice shots!!
Lovely lady, RWhiz
great shots
Great pictures of this hummer!
Well done!
I see the resemblence of my little guys.
Maybe someone can help me. I live in Central Florida "Sebring"and in my property of 3 acres I have all sorte of birds from blue jays to cardinals to woopeckers hundred of American Finches a dozen of Sandhill Cranes" I just love them they are so tame they come and eat from my hands" and many other animals. They all have different feeders and have a great time with the food. In the midle of this menagerie I have one Hummer feeder and all I see is a female always alone she comes regularly to eat, the nectar goes down about one inch or more in a period of tree days . My question is
how come I do not see the males ? I read that when there is a Hummer there is ten others. Can that be true?

I have heard 1:6. My Anna's are territorial. Perhaps a male has not staked your feeder out as his territory. Hard to say. I have lots of females and one dominant male in my backyard (this is not to say there are not more males coming to the feeders but his majesty usually runs them off quickly. There are about 3 recognizable ones.) There are usually hummers at the feeders dawn to dusk.
The front yard seems to be the bachelors club and I do not often see females there. Interestingly, I finally removed the feeder from the front yard because no one used it. They are much more interested in the sage and lavender.
