Hummers

21 years ago

Can anyone tell me why my hummers are zipping around like crazy people? All summer I see just one or two and in the last few weeks I have several and they just zip around the yard squeeking from dawn to dusk in a frenzey. Are they babies or just filling up for the long trip south?

Unfortunately they are getting ready to head south. :(

I think when the juvies join the mamas, they all get crazy! Mine is wreaking havoc on my resident male now. He's just zipping all over trying to protect his territory and it's so funny to watch the activity.
