Ruby-throated Hummingbirds are now arriving at the two feeders at my partner, Pat Cromie's 3rd-floor apartment balcony in Aurora, north of Toronto on Lake Ontario, every morning just after 5 a.m. and keep coming until after 8 p.m. each evening.
The 100 to 200 visits each day last anywhere from 10 to 12 seconds up to 60 or 70 seconds each time...or somewhere in between. I try to replenish the sugar-water every two to three days, depending on how hot the days get.
There is a cracked sunflower seed feeder on the balcony ledge beneath the hummingbird feeders where as many as seven or eight American Goldfinches also feed throughout the day.
Please comment if you wish.
