It shows the side of her house that had six feeders and, to my count, a charm of 21 ruby-throated hummingbirds. The opposite side of her house had four feeders and roughly the same amount of the feathered pixies.
The books say that for every one you see (or photograph) there are probably three waiting just out of sight. At the height of migration Sandra was using two gallons of sugar-water every day.
That's two gallons! Yes. It was a good year for hummers.

OK, a positive about Tucson...we still have hummers! :-)
So that would make me envious of you.
Love the vitality of the hummers, but sadly they are not here November through March. Five months without they pep. And we really only have one species, you probably have several.
