Hummingbird webcam. Click the arrow to watch a time lapse video of the past 24 hours of activity. Notice the feeder fluid level drop as these combative little pilots fight for feeder supremacy all day long. Use the time lapse recording library to check out the entire summer.
Of course the females all get along, but the males are constantly starting fights.
Observation as of March 14 2011:
Four Females – Two males – a half dozen marauding Orioles.
March 15th: Replaced four hole feeder withe a six hole feeder. Moved four hole’r around the corner. Orioles are a major pest to the hummingbird feeders!
March 18th – many of the hummers have moved on…now it’s down to one pair. Have finally appeased the Orioles with grape jelly.
August 15th – we’ve had about three or four pairs and their broods feeding all summer. So far, we’ve gone through over 5lbs of sugar! One day we counted 13 at one feeder.
August – September – sorry camera was down – needs to be reconfigured.
You’ve been getting the Kelly Lake East camera feed by default.
September 10th – as of yesterday the flock flew south. Went through 20 lbs of sugar and about a dozen jars of grape jelly through this summer.
September 18th – over the past week, we’ve seen a few migrating hummers passing through, even with night time temps in the low 30′s.
We’ll keep the feeders up for a few more weeks for any stragglers or until it freezes.
