Hummingbirds

Mark's mom and step dad have been out of town the past week, so we've been going out there to take care of the cats, and more importantly, the hummingbirds. There are five feeders set up, and the birds consume over two gallons of sugar water per day! There are literally hundreds of hummingbirds out there, zipping and diving all around you as you sit on the porch. I spent some time trying to photograph the experience, but these pictures don't do it justice. They are everywhere!

Here's a video clip from last summer...you can hear the hummingbirds fussing at each other!
