OK. It sounds like a thread is needed for us RSM owners to post pictures and share information on the nature and wildlife found in our areas. Birds, mammals, lizards, insects, flowers, etc. In your back yard, or on vacation. Even scuba trip or public aquarium pictures would be great, It would be nice if you could give an idea of your location in your profile, since we have owners all over the world now, and we may see things that we don't recognize.

Time to use that camera equipment for something other than tank pictures!

Just went out back and quickly got a hummer pic, and one of a yellow rose. It's a pretty windy day so a bit difficult taking pictures.

And of course the batteries died on me after that. :(

Geoff - glad you found the new thread and reposted the great pics & video.

Do you not get a territorial hummer that considers the feeder theirs, and chases other away? That happens to me every year.

Not really. There's always an "alpha" around who seems to hog it, but it's never the same one. I guess if you're the biggest at the feeder, you get your way, but there's always someone bigger out there.

I've seen as many as 8 out there easily. There's a Droll Yankees finch feeder to the left of it and we've had a lot of bright yellow finches come around since we've added it.

The Goldfinches are my favorites! I'll at times see 5-6 hummers, but it usually a fight for dominance over who controls the feeder. One little tyrant was even chasing the much larger finches away from my seed feeders a few days ago!
