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:

. We have 22 hummingbird feeders on our 3 acres of property, mostly the
saucers, and all our neighbors also have hummingbird feeders.
