The hummingbirds were out in force today with four of the normally territorial little guys sharing the feeder at once! I've seen as many as six but more typically there is one feisty fellow sitting on a branch chasing everyone else away. After a long, one-hummingbird winter, it must be Spring with all of the migrating birds passing by my feeder on their way to flowers and feeders all up and down the California coast.
Of course, I do put a little extra sugar into their syrup. A full cup per filling to be exact. My motto is regular fillings and a little extra sugar to have the most popular hummingbird feeder in the neighborhood. Sometimes it is the little things in life that make it fun.
