Lots of Hummers

A video of the hundereds of Hummingbirds that came through our area during September 2006. If you listen closely you can hear a sound that sounds like a Star Wars light saber. That is the sound of one of the birds flying close to the camera. Also, at the end you will see that the birds suddenly disapear. Listen closely and you will hear the voice of "L Gato", my cat, as she comes up to me to be petted ending the feeding frenzy.

more feeders dude give more a chance to feed , there are only 2 or 3 ports on that feeder.

@yes350yes, Read the posts from the beginning.

On the day that post was made I had 6 feeders out and only two of them were strawberries. The other 4 were quarts with 8 holes.

Today, three years later, I have 7 quarts out with 8 holes each and EVERY ONE of them is twice as crowded as the one in the video. I refill the 7 quarts daily, thats almost 2 gallons of sugar water a day!

I dont think it would be possible to put out enough feeders to satisfy their feeding frenzy.

Ahh, that's awesome, but please get another feeder for them. They are just too competitive and when you see them swarming like that you need to help them out a little bit by getting another feeder (or three).

I have out eight feeders and ALL are like this or even more crouded.

We are going through a pound of sugar a day during the peak of the season, refilling some feeders several times a day.

I use Cyberlink Power Director, a great video editing program. It has a backlight correction feature to fix that problem. GREAT shots of the hummers getting ready to head across the Gulf. I'm in Little Rock, and ours just left southward last week. Godspeed, little ones!

Ours are STILL here on 25 October in small numbers. They first arrived on the 3rd of August, a month EARLY and they are still here 10 days LATER that usual. Thanks for the tip on software, I will check it out.
