Hummingbirds Swarming

Nothing is more entertaining than watching multiple hummingbirds trying to get their sugar fix all at the same time.

A hummingbird can flap their wings 70 times per second. That's more than 4,000 times per minute. That allows them to hover over flowers, or in this case over the feeders that I have set up throughout the spring and summer.

When there are this many trying to eat at the same time however, they can become a little aggressive. That is why I always hang multiple feeders throughout the yard. But nothing is more exciting than watching a lot of hummingbirds gather together in the morning around a couple of them lined up.
