Ed Yes although I am in eastern Pennsylvania I am seeing more hummers than any other year except maybe 2002. I thought I was an exception but I'm glad I'm not this has been an amazing year started average no early birds but not late either just on time and with a bang male came made lots of noise female arrived and their relatives now their kids and some are a real chip's off the old block "bully boy" tries to chase his dad and so noisy I think I have at least ten in my yard and I don't mean to sound smug but last week at the cape may hummer festival except for nest and wonderful people I should have stayed home I have more in my yard then they did in Cape May and the hummers in my yard are show off's too I'm glad your sister inlaw is experiencing the same thing also my aunt has more than usual too. I wonder if stephen's brother has more than last year? Sarah
