I have 11 feeders out. On Sunday I often saw 25-30 hummingbirds at one time. While at work on Monday, they went through over 2 liters of sugar water. The numbers seem to have dropped a little as yesterday only the 4 most popular feeders were emptied but this morning before coming to work, I was seeing 12-15 at one time. The American Goldfinches are numerous and also going through a lot of niger seed. This morning, I saw an adult male being followed around by 3 begging youngsters.
