So there is no food shortage. However, the hummers still stake out their territory and will fight over one feeder while the others may be empty.<BR/><BR/>Like all of you, I will miss these charming birds who have entertained us all summer. They will be leaving us soon.NCmountainwomanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00615765649828716560noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3906718086309436335.post-7869160271432109082008-09-18T22:59:00.000-04:002008-09-18T22:59:00.000-04:00The girls know how to fight!
