Although we have always had lots of hummingbirds over the years, for most of this summer we had very few. In the past, a full feeder would be emptied in one day. For most of this summer, a feeder would last for two or three weeks. In the last couple of weeks, the hummers have come back. I shot this video with my iPhone through the living room sliding glass door.

Immediately prior to this there were even more, but apparently some of them were not comfortable with my being so close. Only a few came when I tried shooting outside. The feeder was full in the morning. I shot this in the late afternoon, when it was nearly empty.

I love these little birds, but they don’t share much of the love with each other.
