It will be a while before they make it to our house for dinner. Still cold here.

 

I have two huge feeders on the back deck that they all fight over. I also have two feeders 1/2 the size of those, on the front deck. After I posted about the fighting on the back deck, I noticed three hummers sitting on one of the front feeders, having a quiet feast. Andy says the girl birds are out front and the boys are out back.

 

Any pictures or a description? I'm curious as to which species you guys have out there, especially this early in the year.

 

We usually see our first arrivals in early May here in Central Ohio.

 

I'll try for some photos today. I tried last night but wasn't successful enough to post them.

 

They're not real good about posing, huh?

 

I got some but it's hard to see the colors of them. We normally have green backed hummers. The new ones seem to have red heads and light colored bodies, with darker wings.

 

Here's what I have so far.

BTW, notice the feet bborzell?

 

Neat! Nice close up!
