I pulled my feeders, but when I took the dogs out today I saw a hummingbird flying in the trees. Gonna put it back out.

The hummers hitch a ride on the backs of geese flying south. I don't believe you. But I like the idea.  Debunked. Doesn't happen.

Some women at the nearby city park think the (wild) geese and ducks will starve if they're not fed. So yea, I'm sure there's folks that would believe it.

About a dozen or so on my feeders tonight (10/4) at Falcon Lake. I have a nice video with the sun going down in the background if anyone wants it or can post it here. I guess the bees don’t bother them too much. There was about the same amount or maybe a few more bees than hummers. ![[Linked Image]](https://texashuntingforum.com/forum/pics/userpics/2020/10/full-56192-255786-eca48126_f9bf_48db_96e8_b27e1c8be0f1.png)

Thanks, Sneaky.
I set my phone camera up and walked away. Five minutes later I went back and sat down in my chair right next to it. They all came back so I sat there for eight minutes and just watched them from four feet away.
There was one bird that was super protective of that left feeder. He wouldn’t let anyone near it. I know it was the same one because he always had his tongue sticking out.
There was six sitting on the right feeder at one time.

We took our feeder down last weekend, but this little fella showed up today and fed on our roses and rested for about 10 minutes before carrying on. First one we have seen in 4-5 days. ![[Linked Image]](https://texashuntingforum.com/forum/pics/userpics/2020/10/full-8162-257031-hbird.jpg)

Don't have a feeder. Saw one in my flower bed this morning.
