This little fellow is the king of the front feeder. He has been busy chasing the other hummers off this morning. I had to hurry and give them a refill. Earlier in the summer it would take about 3 days for them to empty this feeder (and we have two more small ones and a large one out back) now it takes about 24 hours for them to empty it. I guess they are preparing for their migration to Central America. Paige and I were reading hummer facts from a web site this morning before the school bus came. After she got on the bus I grabbed the camera and took these pictures.
