We have 2 feeders out. Little traffic so far. I think there are only 2 or 3 coming to feed.

Pretty little broad-tailed fella is a regular at my window. Got a few shots of his beautiful colors:

Have a couple HB feeders out, saw the 1st one yesterday.

3 days later and now have 4-5 fighting over the 2 feeders. Love watching them quick little beauties!

We have them dive bombing each other at the feeder right now. I think we have two couples, possibly a black chin couple and a ruby throat couple.

I used the RX10-IV at full zoom. I was having a hard time with the light because he was silhouetted.

How do you keep these critters from trying to fly through a window?

There's several options, I'm not sure which is best. I've wondered the same thing and I'm going to try something like a clear bird tape.

The little male broad-tailed like to tap at the bedroom window. I think he sees himself and thinks it's another male. They're pretty aggressive that way. This seems to be one of the better options.

Cute pup, BTW. Our Corgis love to get up on the back of the couch and watch the world go by.
