Hi.
<div><br>
</div>
<div>My wife and I were just talking about the same thing! There were 2 females on the feeder this morning. This has happened several times lately. There were even times when a male sat on a nearby branch without shooing them away. Not something we’ve seen
often.</div>

This winter hasn't been that bad, but I have seen many more instances of more than one hummingbird at a time at my feeder. They never used to tolerate another at the same time. Now I see two and occasionally a third using the feeder at once (there are four
ports). Always females, but once in a while a male will join them. I think it's unusual. Maybe this behavior will change in spring and summer.</div>

Anyone else notice this sharing behavior?</div>
