And every year I put up 3-4 feeders and have my flower beads filled with hummingbird attracting flowers.Not that I don't have alot of activity though! When I do have humminbirds they fight and go nuts and sometimes 2 will settle at a feeder for a few minutes then fight again.  Towards the end of the season around August though, the sugar water level can drop conciderably and occasionally a 4th hummer ( perhaps a younger bird) will show up at the conflict.I place 1 feeder on my window in the front, one hanging above the porch in the front, and one in the back near my deck. I have also spotted hummers in my woods near natural flowers and even back in our swamps where a creek goes right by wild flowers. Can't really see me doing anything wrong...I am VERY VERY knowledgeable about hummingbirds.In fact, I am the best birder In my area. During the summer I get Hummingbirds, bluebirds, Rose breasted Gross Beaks, Yellow Warblers, Catbirds, Orioles, I recently discovered I have American Woodcocks inhabiting my property as well. I have some of the most humminbirds, best flowers, and most seed feeders. It is trulely a great experience. And it will be 80 here this weekend</blockquote>
