Mine are closer together due to lack of places to put them
I’m seeing a few more in Central, they really aren’t drinking, mostly fighting

Do yall space feeders around or close together like in the video above?


I used to have mine spaced out. The internet will recommend 12-15 feet apart. That's what I did several years ago and would only have a couple of birds at each feeder. When I moved them close together my bird #s exploded. The four feeders in the video need to be filled at least once a day and sometimes two or three times. I have a 5th feeder not in the video that needs filling about every 2 days. The 5th feeder is hanging from the patio cover but is 10ish feet from the other 4. One dominate bird tries to control that feeder but has tough go of it freeing up the other 4 feeders.

I think this is the reason for the low census on my feeders, my grandmother would refer to him as the "punk."

Just returned from my daughter’s farm in Statesboro. I put the feeders up. Got about ten visiting every day.

While I still have quite a few, I believe my area is now past peak. About to be out of State for 4 days and I know my wife will not keep up with the feeding, so my season is probably over tomorrow.

Those are some great shots. I have about 6 or 8 at the moment and the constant battle is hilarious

Maybe ours like Georgia seaboard nectar.

Pass Christian, have 7-8 per feeder. They are thick and going wild now. Lots of bottle brush in the neighborhood so don’t feel bad for a little sugar water over here.

Topped off my feeders this morning and had about 5 total visit but it died down after the sun came out.

I just got back from an 18 night trip in my travel trailer to Table Rock Lake at Branson and at Lake Catherine State Park in Arkansas. I had a feeder out at each location and saw two or three hummingbirds each day. I left three full feeders at at my home in NW Arkansas and they are all empty. I will put out a small feeder tomorrow to see if there are any still here.

Edit: There are still a few hummers up here, so I put out a feeder for them.

Yesterday was my busiest day ever in Cenla. I only live a mile as the crow flies from Alx, he has uncountable numbers. I had 8-10 yesterday. They are eating a ton, so they must be fixing to move on.

Looks like I got a new batch over the weekend. Almost all females or juvi males. Only two or so of this group are mature males.

Are these what you mean by juvi males?





As opposed to the flying one below

Yes, they will look just like females but you will see the beginning of the gorget. Sometimes it looks like a single feather.
