All mine want to do is fight over who gets to feed. Hardly ever more than one at a time on the feeder and always others chasing it off.

Another thread for me to play guess the topic (I generally don't open links because......well, I'm not sure why).
Is it hummingbirds?

Splitting my time between the montane and the mesas
The woods are lovely, dark and deep.
But I have promises to keep,
And miles to go before I sleep,
And miles to go before I sleep.
Ding Ding Ding!
You guessed right. It is Hummingbirds.

No good without pics. This is with new Leica camera I got last summer. We had to move the feeders away from the house the other day because we have a new mouser who has acquired a taste for them. We still have a dozen or so on the porch all the time because we have a large honeysuckle on the corner. He grabs them out of the air. A terrible price to pay for keeping the snakes and vermin down.
I took all the feeders up on the mountain down several years ago. We killed way too many on the windows. It's also my excuse for not washing the windows.
