We recently put a hummingbird feeder 20 ft from "normal" bird feeder (1 Viewer)

Newbie question: is it normal for hummingbirds to fly around the "normal" bird feeder too in addition to their hummingbird feeder? They don't seem to be eating from the "normal" feeder, just "monitoring" it... Apologies if this is the dumbest question ever.

Hi! A lone female in my yard does that too. I guess they're on the watch for 'intruders' - they are very possessive of their yards/areas. Maybe move it to another side of the yard?
