...spotted about 15 minutes ago out my kitchen window. Rick and I are
tickled pink, I'm making the food and he got the feeders out. Last year we
thought the first one was a scout and waited. Booo on us...

Rick and I float around the pool and if you are quiet enough, you can hear
the little squeak they make. And then they dive bomb you

Hummers are very territorial and one male will drive off other Hummers that
want to stop in for lunch.
Put up more feeders and you will get more Hummers.
We have some friends who have a dozen or so feeders around their porch.
The amount of Hummers flying around is astounding.

Jerry,
I read that you shouldn't put two hummingbird feeders within sight of each
other. Guess that isn't so, huh?
