Hummer birds

We don't have any yet this year. Have every other year. Seems like they should be here by now - coastal South Carolina. I guess I have been missed? Maybe one will come later. Last few years it seemed we had a single, and they defended the feeder?
 
They show up at my house and find me and hover in front of me to let me know it's time to put out the feeder. Two years they came into the garage to hover in front of me.
Sometimes they'll harass us while we're filling the feeder!
 
My wife is patiently waiting. Still too early for SW Colo but she put out a single feeder last week "just in case". In full swing she'll fill 15 feeders at least once a day -- could do more but she's trying to be reasonable, ya know..... ;)
 
We are lucky to have a number of them congregating at our place. Amazing tiny creatures.

During the last 2 months they are consuming 1-3 feeders of liquid per day at this stage sometimes seating 6 at the "table".

We have to buy lots of sugar to keep them fed.

They will land in the wife's hand holding the feeder in a very Snow White type moment.
 
Is a hummer bird what you get when you combine the Hummer EV with Red Bull “that gives you wings” or am I missing something?

Just kidding of course :)
 
Hard to get a good shot of these little guys.
