All my widely scattered feeders get regular though often infrequent visits by Fred, whose is checking out his territory. He also includes a few flowers on his route. Each visit is very brief - not really for food, but just to see what is "his". Coral lingers more but is more selective and favors feeders near the bluff. Yesterday as I sat near the bluff fairly near a secluded feeder, in a 20 minute period I saw first Fred feed, then Coral, then Coral again. Here are clips from these successive visits (2X slo mo).
A blog that provides up-to-date information about the world's leading (according to Google) hummingbird sanctuary, on high bluffs overlooking Long Island Sound, Riverhead, New York. The sanctuary is private and not open to the general public. Paul's Email: paul.adams%stonybrook.edu. We sometimes livestream from the sanctuary, at youtube.com/channel/UCvTj9WdD0zItyBLI6m-U9Og/live

Fred and Coral Take Turns
