A hummingbird must . . .

consume approximately one half of its weight in sugar daily. 

The average hummingbird feeds 

five to eight times per hour. 

The hummingbirds atMuldoon

were right on target this evening.

After scattered showers all day

they had to catch up on calories

before nightfall.

This evening I timed one 

that ate for 30+ plus seconds.

Normally they take one or two

quick drinks at a time and off they go.
