Liese, do you have the second feeder out of sight of the first? I've been told that that's the way to do it to have at least a couple feeding at the same time. Unfortunately, then you can't really watch them both at once, at least I can't with one on the front yard and one in the back.
I've seen four feeding at the same feeder up in Glacier, but never at my house, alas.
Good luck with the getting things in place, msbelle. it makes sense to do that while it's not a crisis. I hope you will be able to bask in more peace without having this sort of thing hanging over you at some point.
Jesse, thanks, but I think I need to do it right now. they need so much info it seems.
Yeah, that makes sense.
Unrelatedly, in my office of like 50 people, we have three preggos! Doesn't that seem like a lot? Although not really given how many of us are women in our childbearing years....
More than normal, but I've seen more. Once, I was in an office of about 20 people with three pregnant women and one expectant father.
I hear it spreads quickly.
so far in 2009, my department of about 30 has had:
1 woman give birth
3 new fathers
1 mom to be
This is what everyone is saying on facebook. (Also hilarious: All of my coworkers posting on facebook throughout the day.) Actually, we have two in this office of ~25, and one at the other main location.
Liese, do you have the second feeder out of sight of the first?
Yeah, I do. One is on the window of the sunroom, south-facing. The other is at the corner of the dog's kennel, northwest corner, visible from my office window. What this has achieved is making my whole house a battle zone. We keep getting strafed by them as we come out the front door. The SO wants to add one to the north-facing porch, which would make their hummingbird overlord plan complete.
And yeah, msbelle, definitely making the preparations now is a good idea.
