A female Black-chinned Hummingbird just sipped from my front feeder then
grabbed a few insects from a nearby lilac bush and returned for a little
more nectar. Earlier today a male Black-Chinned fed from the same feeder. I
have two feeders in the front yard, two in the back. Based on consumption,
all four get some use, but I don’t know which birds use which feeders.

I’m thinking about an article that said when it’s very hot give the birds
at least one feeder that has water rather than nectar and the birds will
choose what they need. I guess I’ll change one to water.
