This was the closest I've ever been to hummingbirds and the most I've ever seen in one place. I spent 5-10 minutes holding still, trying to get one to land on my finger but no luck. I could see their little tongues and had no idea how frequently they poop. Their poops are these tiny quick little squirts.
I had to move the feeders further away due to the sheer volume of hummingbird waste. Most we had at once was 22 and that's while we were looking.
Still very jealous of West Coast birders variety of hummingbird. We only get one species east of the Mississippi.
Me too! They covered the porch rail and then mold grew on top of that.
Ruby-throated? I think that's all I've seen in Florida.
Ruby throated! Usually the feeders are a girls club, so it's rare to see the ruby throated dudes.
