Marc:
I have two feeders out. I usually also plant zinnias and hang a fuchsia
out for them but I failed at gardening this year. They are visiting the
daylilies, the monarda, the phlox, and the jewelweed in addition to the
feeders.
I have read that it is helpful to hang at least two feeders in different
locations in order to reduce competition and fighting.

I have heard that you need more than one feeder or food source to consistently
attract hummingbirds. Do you have two sources of food for them or is my
information incorrect?
Thanks

For a while the only evidence I had that hummingbirds were around was that the
nectar level would drop in the feeders. However, woodpeckers like to drink the
nectar too. But since my monarda started blooming I've been seeing them on a
more regular basis and the past few days I've seen two at a time, chasing each
other. I haven't seen an adult male for a few days. A hummingbird moth has
joined in the monarda celebration.

As we were talking with our son Chris in our living room on Tuesday,
he exclaimed excitedly, "A hummingbird just came to your feeder!!" It
moved out of sight, but soon returned. We had not seen one at our
feeders since May 11!!!!!!!!
I've written about this phenomenon before. To paraphrase the "Field
of Dreams" movie, when he's here, the birds will come!!!!! This is
probably purely a matter of coincidence. HOWEVER, it has happened
enough times before to make me suspect that perhaps other "forces" may
be at play.
Have others of you been seeing hummingbirds of late? If not, maybe I
could send our son to your house!
