Hummingbirds update

We finally put up a hummingbird feeder and have been happy to see at least 4 hummingbirds visiting the feeder. We're guessing 4 at this point - and have even named them: Brownie, Chubby, Squeaky (male and loudest wing flap!) and so far no name for the last one yet.  Could be Tiny as it seems to be a little baby one :-)

We originally had the feeder just above our outdoor dining table, but then figured that perhaps the hummingbirds would be too afraid:

So we moved it to a higher location, where there was already a nail in the wood.  It didn't take long for the hummingbirds to come over and visit!

Sometimes the birds would sit on the wire and we would all pretty much freeze up to watch them:

Brownie would mostly sit on our outdoor lighting, even when we're sitting at the table:

We recently bought a new feeder when we went to visit the Wayfarers Chapel yesterday:

So pretty with the metal peacock but this feeding part is leaking! Noooo...!!!

Hopefully it won't attract any ants on the table.  I'm still trying to fix it so hopefully it won't be too much of a mess.  Although so far, no visitors on this feeder.  Maybe I need to move it as well instead of being directly above the outdoor dining table (like the last one).

We do have the occasional blue bird that comes and visit too.  I think we named this one Jeff? I can't remember now.  Ha ha!

The only thing now is it's one more to-do task once a week or so, to clean out the sugar water.  As if there's not enough to do around the house, but we are totally committed now I guess!
