I have a lot of Hummingbirds this year.
I don't recall having had this many Hummingbirds in my many years of feeding the tiny guys.
The past couple years, I have had fewer than normal and have blamed it on Al Gore's wind mill farms.
I am not a casual bird feeder as I don't put up a feeder and in a month notice it is empty.
Right now I am going through 5 pounds of sugar in less than 3 days. The people at the my local market tipped the cops off that I might be using all this sugar to make Moonshine. Cops are my friends. They came by and wanted to sample some, but all I make is beer and wine. They were good with that.
I just made a movie, but utube won't let me register until I give them my phone number. I don't even know where my phone is, much less the number. Why do they need my number?
I have uploaded the 2 minute video to here: Maybe you can download it?

Here is a photo snapped from the video:
It is what it is and not too bad. If you play a movie using my favorite player VLC, you can at anytime snap a shot of a hooter or in this case a hummer. How cool is that?
I know yall are not keeping your feeders full. If I had "a" feeder, would have to fill it every 15 minutes. I have about 20 out.
I need to get up a new array for next year as this is getting wild.
Maybe I could put a sign down on the highway and lure tourist here to see this. I do have fish ponds, etc. The sign could be:
"For a donation of $25 to help me feed the critters, you get to take a photo of my birds and enjoy a glass of homemade wine."
That sounds funny, but up the road is a pond where they sell a slice of bread for a dollar to feed the fish with. My Koi are bigger than their fish. Tourist flood in here, and there are few things available where they can spend their money.
