Birds of Kentucky: Ruby Throated Hummingbirds - aplenty 2011-07-11 - Metcalfe Co., KY - Photo by Johnnietta Jessie. Hungry Hummingbirds:I took this photo at the George-Etta's house on Saturday, July 9, 2011. I can not do justice to the number of birds which eat from the three feeders she has. George-Etta says at the height of the season, she has to fill them twice a day. We have so far been unable to get an accurate count because of their flitting about. Each feeder has 8 ports so that would be 24 and they are stacked up waiting or fighting for a spot. We have guessed there are around 35 to 40 of them. If someone could come up with an idea for a hanger for a gallon jug, she would appreciate it.- Johnnietta Jessie Seen in the ColumbiaMagazine group on Flickr.
