This morning at my hummingbird feeders was phenomenal! I was seeing up 
to 40 hummingbirds at one time, maybe more - it's hard to count that 
many moving objects.  :)  I have about 30 feeders out depending on how 
many are being cleaned at any given time, so they have plenty to choose 
from. They are drinking about a gallon of sugar water a day. I have one 
feeder hanging in the middle of my gazebo, so I can watch them feed 
while sitting 3 feet away. Sometimes when I am sitting there, a hummer 
will come in and check me out by hovering right in front of my face. 
This freaks out some people because it sounds like a huge bee is in your 
face.  :)  If I stand still, I can have my nose practically touching a 
feeder and they will feed only inches away.

The eagle looked down on the river below
And he wrapped his wings round him and he fell like a stone
And the big salmon fought but the talons held true
And he shuddered as the world turned from silver to blue
