I bought a few new feeders just the other day. I think I'll put them out today since a few of you have seen humming birds already. It helps to have red flowers around too. I hang mine in the middle of my rose garden. The humming birds love it.

So far its sounding like the cowbird song from one track I could barely hear... I'm not cranking up the speakers so everyone can hear 1,001 bird sounds come from my desk. :lol: But so far from the little bit I could barely hear, that may be the bird :shrug: http://www.birds.cornell.edu/AllAboutBirds/BirdGuide/Brown-headed_Cowbird.html They've been hanging around the yard A LOT with the grackles. I left the feeders empty a few days as someone instructed and they still came back :faint: I think this is close in sound but mine sound moer like a water drip with the boink boink kind of phrasing :crazy:

I heard and saw four of them in a bush today, it is a brown-headed cowbird.

I saw my first hummingbird of the year today. As soon as I put up the feeder he was on it.

They are starting to fight at my feeder. I'll have to put the rest of the feeders out. I have two at work and it gets to be like a busy airport there in the summer. They are within 5 feet of my window at work.

I've seen a male and female. Don't know if it's the same pair or there's more.

We were sitting on the deck tonight and one landed on the feeder not 3 feet from DR's head and fed. Then he/she flew off and sat in a tree and another came in to feed and the one in the tree came blasting in and chased the other away. What's up with that?

They do that all the time. They are very aggressive with each other. If you watch them, you will see that some will get along with there are others that only want to feed alone and they will chase the others away.

Just saw one yesterday. I was hoping to see it again today and there it is! Looks like the same old male one from last year. Wait and see if the other two females will come back here soon.

I have the horrible one back at work. He sits on the wire for my XM antenna all day, about a foot from the feeders, and chases most of the others away. I put two feeders up this year, hoping it would help. He is just sitting there for a good part of the day and doesn't even feed much. He just chases the others away. He's the first one every year. He's a meamie.
