  Well, you know how it is at hummingbird feeders. You've got some species that are just going crazy trying to keep every other bird away from 'their' feeder, actually not spending very much time feeding at all, and others that are a lot more relaxed, and do spend a fair amount of time just relaxing on available perches, like this one. Woodstars and hermits, now that's another story! Posted 9 years ago, modified 9 years ago

    9 more weeks of waiting for me. It's agonizing since the entire country is currently on holiday it seems, and posts like these make me want to go today! Posted 9 years ago
