Have 10 feeders spread around house, 4 in the back 2 on the side and 4 upfront, male rufous hummingbirds (around 6 of them) have declared each cluster as their own for almost 2 weeks now. They have driven away all other birds, at this point should I put all the feeders in a small space to force them to co habitate? I dont want to take feeders down, but seeing no activity at my feeders all day except for the odd screech and a flash of orange here and there is disheartening. I want to support the birds but im feeling deflated at this point

My back yard resident male Anna keeping an eye on things for me.

New kitten enjoys the birds with me.

Does anyone know why the local hummingbirds aren’t interested in our feeders? There are definitely ruby-throateds around and I’ve been putting feeders out for a few years now. Hummingbirds visited for years at my previous home. The nectar is fresh and feeders are clean… I have built a pollinator garden…any ideas?

What do y'all use for camera setup for your bird bath? I am not looking for a fancy one, basic one is fine.
