The Hummingbirds

We have had a hummingbird feeder outside the kitchen window for years. These crazy little birds are so funny. They fight over that feeder and chirp at each other. This morning there were five of them fighting over who was going to get the feeder.  Relax - there is another one over in the tree. I think they forgot about that one.

Anyway, I was playing around with the camera. I put a bowl on the window sill, and snapped some photos yesterday morning. The screen adds a level of blurriness that is not going to go away and I'm not taking the screen off. With my luck, it will get damaged.

If I try to take them from the porch, they will go over to the feeder in the tree and if I go near the tree feeder, they come to the porch. I'm sure if I stood out there for hours they would ignore me but I don't have time for that.

This morning we had five hummingbirds fighting over this feeder. Looks like they are Ruby-Throated Hummingbirds. One male, four females? If I am wrong, please correct me.
