I've noticed they will pick a favorite spot and I will put the biggest feeder there to even out the feed rate. They seem to be used to my presence and will even come right up to me within a few feet and just hover there when a feeder is empty. If you put up a mist nozzle around the feeders, they really get crazy acting, same when it rains. Maybe a little extreme, but my family enjoys watching them and look forward to them coming every year.

But my garden is used heavily by them. Gingers, pickerel weed, firebush and plumbago as well as hibiscus varieties abound. It won't be long and my firespikes will be in full bloom and the hummers will fight over those.
