Beautiful pics, lor!
Chris, I'm up to three nectar feeders already  And they just got back last week! I'm gonna need all four of me to keep up with the nectar refills come the fall migration! Some of our residents: Herman Hummer Buzz Needlenose and his lovely consort, Lily... I could tell it was them right away--they remembered me from last year and let me get really close.

I'll maybe try to the boys on in a few days...methinks the ladies are setting up housekeeping and here for the duration
but the boys might be willing to push the envelope and explore new territories once all the ladies are busy with their nestly duties.

Answers and pics...what more can you ask?
Here's a few more pics from this afternoon. They went through 5 feeders of nectar today I hung out the 4th one so hubby won't have to refill so many tomorrow morning when I'm gone.If you're wondering about the missing bee guards--the orioles like the nectar, too, but they can't get through the bee guards. So I remove one from each feeder to give the orioles access. If I don't, they remove it for me and throw it to the ground Beautiful birds, but a tad cheeky, wouldn't you say?

By sheer accident, I finally got a picture I can add. was over at the offleash dog park taking pictures of my dog, when this bright flash of colour went past and perched nearby. the bird book says its a red breasted grosbeak

Oh, I love rose-breasted grosbeaks, ownedbycats!!!!
 They sing pretty, too! We have them here, but the only chance I get for pics is through the chain-link while they're on the feeders--and the camera keeps focussing on the fence, not the feeder!  I've got a few more hummer pics that I posted elsewhere, so you've all probably seen them...but I'll put them here, too...

Hazel the Hummer Hog....I have a question.....are your feeders in full sun or do they get part shade during the day?
In the "Setter's Eye" thread, in one of the pics, I think I counted seven of the little jewels

I was looking for some pics, but none of them give a good idea of how it's laid out in relation to the tree...so I'll try to take one later (if it stops raining) This morning, all the hummers are hanging out on top of the tomato cages, ruffling and preening in the rain. So cute to watch them bathe that way!

No, no pics :sad: I tried--but had to take it through the screen because it's raining buckets out there. The focus was on the screen so the birds are totally blurred...
I'm not sure what rain would do to the camera
