Youngroot...you probably have the black-chinned hummers. They are turning into mosquitoes down here in San Antonio. I was able to hold the feeder today and have a couple drink from it. The males will have the black head and the female will lack it. Here's a couple links to some I posted (including ones on the same window feeder you have) to help confirm it's the black-chinned. Hope you get more! http://forums.gardenweb.com/forums/load/hummingbird/msg032216115321.html?8 http://forums.gardenweb.com/forums/load/hummingbird/gal0317460815791.html

last year I had one guy who sat post on the hanger thing that the feeder is attached too...he'd sit there and then buzz off to a nearby crepe myrtle tree, and the second someone else came along...the chase would start...and he'd run them off, then perch on top of the thing, like he's king of the mountain! I had 3 feeders from one end to the other of the back side of the house and it was like the autobon...actually had to duck a few times...like they were so intent on chasing each other, they were clueless about what was going on around them...The one guy tried to run them off from all 3 feeders!!! poor thing must have run himself ragged trying to keep up.... I cant wait for the show to start all over again this year...so much fun...this year, I'm equiped with a much better camera..and I'm figuring out a way to hook up a web cam outside to get some closeups!!!

I can't tell if anyone here's from Colorado. I had my only sighting a week and a half ago, either rubythroat (unlikely) or broadtail (more likely). They head to the mountains. In the west suburbs of Denver blackchinned hummers usually hang around, but I get the migrants too. Not so far tho. Nothing and I mean NOTHING! Two feeders out, brilliant red begonias, and my nice red lounge chair LOL!

Nice photo, Bob! I was logging on here to find out when the hummers typically show up in PA. Looks like they're already here. A friend gave me a hummingbird feeder last fall, and I was wondering when I should set it up. I used to live in Texas, where you don't see the hummers till late summer. I used to sit out on my terrace where I had some feeders set up, and the hummers would actually get in my face to check me out. I saw one -- only one -- hummingbird in my garden here in PA last year going for my butterfly bush. Time to put out the feeder!
