We love sitting on our porch watching the hummingbirds on the feeder. They are so territorial though and won't sit together and drink. Instead they fly at each other and swoop around almost as if they are dancing. But it isn't a friendly dance. I've seen videos where the hummingbirds were all sitting together peacefully but it sure isn't in our area. I don't know how exactly how long they will be around until they fly south for the winter but we will enjoy them until they are back in the middle of April. 
Thank you for reading.

I have an adoration for hummingbirds and this is one of the things I was looking forward to when we came back to BC. Strangely enough, I barely spotted one in the four years we were in Québec.
I have two feeders here and noticed too that they do not seem to be friendly with each other...
I am really thinking about buying some hand feeders to try and see if they would approach me.
I am also a BIG hummer watcher. We have had up to 16 feeders at a time out and they still want for more.
Also many many orioles come also
Depending where lived depends on how many.
This year I have watched the babies come and grow. Now I just want to find a nest so I can say that I have really seen one.
Off to look for the nest...
