Humming birds

That's a great link for id'ing the hummers. I may have seen that one at the bottom a time or two.

Not a lot of birds then?

A few, all we get here are Ruby's.
They fight more than drink.

Only have a small group for our feeder, about 4-5 Ruby-throated. Seems that the females try to keep the feeder for themselves.

Got a good laugh out of a h-bird a few weeks ago. My neighbors have bright red front doors, with big brass lock cylinders. Had a male Ruby trying to pick their locks the one day. My wife and I laughed our asses off watching that poor bird at that lock for about 30 seconds, before he finally figured out that it wasn't another feeder.
