Yesterdays hummingbirds.
A couple of weeks ago, we were gone for 6 days. I filled all 8 feeders up right before we left. By the time we got back all but two were empty. Most of the birds had left us. So I cut down to two feeders. Slowly, they started to return, but we still do not have 80+ that we did. Probably half that.
I am hoping the rest will return as the season progresses. Here they are from yesterday . . .

I like how they also sit on the railing wires. Oops, I forgot to post mine in here too.
I change the nectar every week. It gets cloudy and moldy.
Yeah, I think it’s been about a week now.

Although still kinda low, it looks like our hummingbird numbers are coming back up.

Tonight’s hummingbirds. Even I am impressed by the numbers. At the 2:30 mark they are significant, but the feeders are mobbed by the 3:30 mark.

Hummingbird Happy Hour.

A friend of mine named this one Hummingbird Chaos because I moved the feeders to get a better background view.
If you would like to see the view for which the house is known (locally!), take a look here . .
This is how you spell beautiful isolation!

The Return of the SWARM! This is just insane.

This is the view sans birds. I am standing on the deck right outside our upper master suite where the hummingbird feeders are now.

Have you ever tried to get a hummer to land on your finger? I’ve seen videos people having that experience and have always found it so cool.
I’ve even seen small feeders that attach to the brim of ball caps and the hummer will feed on it.
Cool. I like the first one, haha. The third one from amazon is also available from temu.com for $2.96. I might try the little suction cup ones for the window.

I didn’t get the fourth feeder rehung in time for “supper.” They were pissed and it shows!
Tomorrow I should be able to show you a video with eight feeders in the view. I moved the camera back a bit so I could see all eight without panning. I will move it back in, probably this Sunday.
–OzarkMountainMan
Aww. I refilled my ine yesterday. As I was adjusting it, they came back and watched me, haha.
@OzarkMountainMan have only seen a few hummers in Illinois. Put out clean nectar and three feeders and my custom feeder. Neighbor said she hasn’t had many either.
I guess they really like your feeders and see no reason to move on.
This is what we all need to have these cameras for bird feeders view. That’s all they good for

I will order some to depart for Illonois immediately!

I found the answer to my problems with the cameras.
Our internet connection hovers between zero and really bad. I have no use for the cloud features.
I stuck SD cards in all of my cameras and now they do what I want.
–OzarkMountainMan
Yes I have sd card install and remove them to test without them remove they are all high endurance card RECOMMEND by wyze and mods. And it still a problem Samsun /scan disk still the same issues Always offline and error 90 and 1301
Guycan, I disagree with you on this point. I actually bought my first 2 Wyze Cams 5 years ago. I needed a way to communicate with my disabled fiancé when I was away from home and she didn’t answer her phone. These cameras worked perfectly for me.
I have since added MANY more cameras and placed them around my home to view my property completely. I rarely have any issues with my cameras. And on those occasions that I do, a quick power cycle usually takes care of it.
I understand that some people have more and worse problems than me and in those cases, they should either work with Customer Service or failing that, switch to a different camera system. But that is just my opinion.
