Hummingbirds 2020

We did not open our place on East Bear Island until Monday, June 8th. I thought that we were too late in the season to have our regular visitors. However, the feeders were installed that day, and the next morning we were pleased to see several customers belly up to the bar. They return daily for their sweet treat. 🐻

I use to hang our feeder right in front of the house over hanging the outdoor patio and we had a few that we would watch as they were real close to us when we were sitting outside.
So I figured if I hung it away from us on the shed we would get more but we actually see less?
I don't know if it's too late to move it back to the house?

Found a dead humming bird in my yard a couple days ago. Did not seem to have a mark on it but it had a bee impaled on the end of its beak. Weird.
