Thank you! I did not know that. I have five feeders in different locations. Of course, I do not spend time observing how many hummers to each one. </div>

<div>Take the maximum number you see at any one time, and multiply by 7. That's how many hummingbirds are using your feeder(s).
<br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>This was determined by the amount of nectar consumed by captive hummingbirds, and by briefly capturing and visibly marking wild hummingbirds.

<div>Ha ha! Thanks for the report, Chris! You know, studies have been done that captured and marked hummingbirds (with a sharpie dot), weighed them, released them, calculated the amount of sugar-water gone through in a day, combined with how much sugar-water
captive hummingbirds go through in a day, and come up with formula: Take the maximum number of hummingbirds you see at your feeder (so, either 4 or 6) and multiply it times 7 to get the actual number of individuals you are feeding at any time.

<div>Julie has a maximum of four at her feeders, too. I still have zero, so I'm jealous of both of you!<br>

Hi Dawn:</div>
<div style="font-family:Aptos,Aptos_EmbeddedFont,Aptos_MSFontService,Calibri,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size:11pt; color:rgb(0,0,0)">
Last night, Sunday, I was out on the deck from about 8:30 - 9:30 pm. The hummers were busy at the feeder. I saw four of them fussing around and finally settled on the feeder together. They came and went. At one time when there were four of them at the feeder,
I saw two more flying about. So, we have at least 6 hummers here. No doubt many more.</div>
