Humming Bird day.

At the toastmasters BBQ up in Garden Valley there were several humming birds. I have never seen so many, and have them unafraid of people.

I just set with the camera focused on the bird feeder and waited for the birds to fly in. During the whole BBQ they were flying in and out. It was amazing to see so much of their actions.

At times, there were 3-4 of them. We were told that humming birds have their route set out each day. They move from one feeding spot to another, usually the same. So when one explory bird finds a new feeder they quickly add that to thier route.

Vandy (owner of house) said that all the rain this year produced more flowering weeds which brought a slew of humming birds in. I have never seen anything like it. So they feed on the flowers, then buzz up to the porch and help themselves to the sugar water. It gets to be a feeding ground for ant too. There were a large gathering of ants under the feeding making use of the dripping water.
