It’s a pretty good bet that the fall migration is underway, because the Hummingbird feeder at the far end of our pool is being swarmed.
We are often seeing a dozen or more birds around this one feeder, and we actually had to refill it twice yesterday!
I can only count four birds in the picture I took this morning, but there were at least two more on the far side of the feeder, and a couple more just out of the frame. They are in a constant state of flux, and move so darned fast, that I was pleased that the picture shows as many as it does.
Oddly enough, the levels in our other two feeders have hardly dropped at all. Those two were staked out as personal territory by male Ruby Throats a few weeks ago, and they will not allow any other birds near them.
