No, they usually chase the other one off. Very territorial little creatures. Hope that pic gets posted, can’t wait to see it.

Today I got a pic of two at the feeder at once, I don’t usually see that.

I think it may be the ‘Anna’ hummingbird. I looked long and hard at all the varieties and this one seems to fit the bill. This website even shows a video clip of one trying to find the holes in the feeder with snow on top of it, she succeeds : ) Ever know a hungry woman that wouldn’t? http://howtoenjoyhummingbirds.com/Anna’s%20humingbird.htm

I see these little guys every winter and can’t believe they survive the freezing weather. Anybody know more about them? I would have thought they’d be long south this time of year.
