The hummingbirds are always thirsty and I keep the saucer feeder filled.
:) They engage in arial battles over it. Sometimes they hover in front
of me at the window. Yes? Hello!
I don't fill the seed feeder in the summer but always keep the bird bath
filled with water. That attracts a lot of birds to come around for a
drink and to splash around. Cardinals, chickadees, tufted titmice,
purple and red and house finches, the occasional mourning doves.
Sometimes I see a bird I don't recognise but it's always fun to see them
enjoying a dip in the water. :)

Yeah they seem to be fearless not only of each other but even humans.

Sometimes I'll be standing close to one of the feeders and one will
buzz up within a foot of my head, as if to "shoo" me away, lol.
