more angry (and happy) birds

We've been noticing humming birds at our feeder after a very long absence.  In fact, we saw just a few in the spring and then nothing, thus, our feeder's sad state.  So today, after many days of guilt, I finally took it down and cleaned it out (yuck) and put some new nectar in it.  I received a fabulous reward for this.  It was a feeding frenzy at the feeder this evening.  The hummingbirds were fighting over it and, boy, they do put on a show!  I saw six at one time.  I don't think I have ever seen that many at once.  They were so involved in their fight that they didn't notice me too much when I snuck out to take pictures of them.
