Hummingbirds Arrive in Numbers

Shorter days, cooler afternoons, and plants losing their blooms mean that the hummingbird feeders are becoming more popular.   These little critters are feeding well after sunset and are even sharing the nectar left out for them instead of chasing each other off as much.  As many as 5 on a feeder at one time.

Mostly Anna's hummingbirds (green ones) with one or two Rufous (brownish ones).
Very calm and they don't fly off as we get closer to them.   Almost looks like they are willing to pose.
