Anyone else have an unusually large number of hummingbirds this year?

A delightful sight of the red sky and buzzing hummingbirds along the Little Bay de Noc shore. Taken in the UP of MI!

A few photos of "hummingbird central". I put some unistrut on the aluminum roof over part of my deck. The wire frame is from a hanging plant. They like to roost on it between dogfights. A suet basket with cotton balls is for nesting material. The nearby treeline is visible to the right of the overgrown bush.

I forget what kind of bush is next to the deck. A Chinese privet or something. The hummers love it as do bees and butterflys when it flowers.

I stocked up yesterday on sugar at a close by Amish market.
