Default Hummers II

When we moved to the new place, we never put up our hummingbird feeder. This spring, we put up sheperd's hooks around our deck planning to hang our hurricane lanterns there at night. The first warm night, we lit the lanterns and sat down. We hadn't been there for long when in flies a hummingbird to check out one of the lanterns. Then he flew on to the next one, and then the next one, and finally flew off rather annoyed. So up went the hummingbird feeder. Now we have two males who fight over it, to the point where one of them bumped the other one off the feeder the other night. We literally heard the thump only being 5 feet away.
