So much for the sharing of feeders today. It was quiet awhile but right now it is a battlefield out there with the hummingbirds, even the females in the rabble raising! I have seen this before but not to this scale. I have one dead male, I think he may have been driven into the ground head first. Really a beautiful little fellow. A few minutes ago there were a dozen males or more swarming about and spearing with their beaks. I will pop this little fellow into the freezer along with the oven bird, nuthatch, something else and oh a mourning dove that have collected there for the past couple years. I'll try to get them all to Randy or maybe the museum in Hfx. Seems a bad weekend for the hummingbirds as I saw a number dead on the highway to and from Lunenburg. So many were zipping across the road at low levels. Lots of butterflies as well. I saw dozens of the yellow swallowtails of all different sizes. They all seemed to go from the ocean inland direction. the big thrill was a Luna Moth at my sister's around the corner. Tonight I went to her house and there is a second one. Beautiful!!
