We usually have 4-5 hummers every year, sometimes fewer. This year we seem to have no less than 15, perhaps as many as 20....its insane at our feeders. I've never seen so many in one place on the east coast.... its impressive.**************************************************************** To post messages, send e-mail to: [log in to unmask] Set your e-mail application to PLAIN TEXT ONLY to post messages.
