Thanks, Ed. I love a good pun or joke.


That makes at least 2 of us ;-)

Amazing picture, btw; I bet you could get that published. Wouldna
thought you'd get so many hummingbirds in Arizona!


Thanks. I wouldn't know about that, but that would help offset Beer and
Model Car expenses ;-).
This area is well known to the Bird Folks as a Hot Spot for Hummers and
many other types of Birds. It's not just Ravens and Vultures out here,
despite what the Movies indicate ;-).

Thanks. Part of the reason I get the concentrations and you don't is
because it's a lot farther from the each Feeder or Flower to the next
here. So the result is like having a sign on Hwy 40 1/2 way between
Needles and Barstow that reads "Free Ice Cold Water and Beer".



Hahahaha! Makes perfect sense to me. :-)

Our only year round Hummer is called the Magnificent Humming Bird.
It'll try to "Rule the Roost", but as you saw sometimes the numbers become
overwhelming and it'll just sit off to the side and make short harassing
sorties to reminding everyone else just who's home this is. I wouldn't
mind seeing some of your Shots. My address is a valid one (and yes I get
my share of Spam to prove it :-( ). Just do not send prior to late
afternoon/evening. That's when I've been up for a while and have discarded
the junk.



What's your definition of late afternoon/evening? 5:30 PM to 7:00 PM?

I'm in California so I think you're an hour ahead of me. Currently it's
9:17 PM my time so I guess that's 10:17 PM your time. That ought to qualify
as not being "prior" to late afternoon/evening. I'll send ya some.

Sweeeet pic. I haven't seen a hummingbird in years. We don't get them
around here...but I'm hoping global warming will tempt some just a tad
further north. Some birds that were brought up here from Florida with
Hurricane Wilma have survived the two winters.


Too bad I can't send you some of me extras ;-).
During Migration periods I have to refill the Feeders twice a Day.

I was looking at some distribution maps in a bird book and south-east
Arizona seems to get a lot of different Hummers.
