I am a newbie to hummers. I've seen 2 here in Spring Hill (Hernando County) but only one comes regularly.
I know they're diff because they are so different in size. The little fella is about 1/3 smaller than the bigger one. The bigger one is a PIG & has treated me to many showings all day long.
I've hung feeders right outside my windows with the hummers favorite shrimp plants right below the feeders.
A new feeder is on my want list but as of here/now I do not have a feeder with a perch on it.
They move so darn fast that I am having a hard time identifying them. I'm thinking a feeder with a perch is a MUCH easier way to get them to stay put long enough for me to get a picture.
After feeding from my feeders or plants, they like to go sit in the top of my tangerine tree. But never long enough for me to get a pic.
FAST, they are! I'm almost sure the bigger one is a female ruby or female black chinned. Just from coloring. Doesn't look like any of the male species pics.
How do you tell when they're going mach three?
