[obol] 50 Hummers & Counting

[Jorrie & Ken]

This has been an extraordinary year for the hummers. We've never had  
this many and the action is still going on. We've posted a current  
video, taken March 8, 2008, of the mass migration. It looks like a bee  
hive. Besides the buzz at the two perky pet feeders, there are six  
hummers sitting side-by-side at the test tube feeder. There are two  
other feeders not in the video that are just as active. A number of  
people have mentioned that they also are having more hummers than  
normal this year. After the video was shot, the next day we put up two  
more perky pet feeders to that more hummers could feed and it's still  
an amazing sight. It's a quicktime video at: http://www.birdsamore.com/videos/hummer-migration.htm 
. We have 22 hummingbird feeders on our 3 acres of property, mostly  
the saucers, and all our neighbors also have hummingbird feeders.
