In the last few weeks I've had sudden increase in the number hummers in my yard. The most I've figured I had using my feeders in the past was about 6. Now I have seen as many as 8 at one time and I'm guessing that 16 to 20 total would be a conservative estimate. I have them fighting 3 and 4 at a time over a single feeder, and often all 8 are in use. I added 2 to the 6 I had up. In addition, I'm seeing several hummers every time I go out for a bird walk, and I used to consider 1 a rare event. At this time of year I usually start to get new birds coming in to fatten up or already on the way south, but this time I don't think the others have left, and the new 1's are standing in line. Anyone else noticed anything similar? Don Morgan, Coventry, Ct ************************************** Get a sneak peek of the all-new AOL at http://discover.aol.com/memed/aolcom30tour
