Hi list!
Having a morning free, i decided to take another survey on the homesite (Broadrun, S FredCo) this morning...between 0915 & 1000
Results - totally unscientific
I male who alternated between actively feeding and squatting at the feeder for up to 5 minutes or longer to prevent others from feeding.
I imm/female, or perhaps 3 seen separately
Aggressive encounters between (usu) the male and other hummers numbered over 8 and then i stopped counting.
Aggressive encounters between a hummer and a house finch - 1 instance of a finch chasing a hummer toward the feeder although i'm not sure the hummer actually noticed...
