Hi All,
I enjoyed reading the updates in your yards. :)

I thought the Male Hummer that was visiting had left. Good thing I've been maintaining feeder. Last evening, I looked out the window and the tiniest female Hummer was perched drinking.

I went outside and the female Hummer returned. All of a sudden a male darted at the female. It was kind of funny watching these two. She kept coming back and drinking fast and looking around and sure enough he would be back trying to push her out of his feeding territory. What amazing birds to watch. I'm assuming this male, must be the original bird at the feeder. :)

So glad you got to experience a taste of the hummer humor. They carry on so, but it is all very good-natured, like a game. Perhaps next year they will tell their friends about your yard and you will have a larger population. They are such fun to watch. They always make me smile.
