10. That's like saying your Hum-Vee is actually very efficient
when you consider the amount of weight it has to move around!

:P

12. Well, first of all, I have hummingbirds, NOT a Hum-vee
:)
And hummingbirds add beauty, not air pollution.

9. We have one feeder
in the backyard and two in the front. I have seen as many as 12 hummers feeding or lined up waiting to get at the front ones.

The one in the back is jealously gaurded by a couple of
ruby throated Hummers who will run off any other hummers even though these guys are smaller ( the picture of the one in flight is a Ruby).

11. I know what you mean...
they suck those feeders dry in no time at all.

Oh! You meant birds? Those too.

Nice pics :applause:
