Dave A Posted May 4, 2018 Share Posted May 4, 2018 Outside my shop one day 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave A Posted May 4, 2018 Share Posted May 4, 2018 Front yard during a drought. Six feeders and a swarm all day long. I went through a 50 gallon drum of confectioners sugar that summer and it's a good thing I got it for free from a food manufacturing customer. You could stand away from the deck about 100' and all you saw was hummers flying to and fro. Hundreds in the air and around the feeders at a time. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everything there wants to hurt you - it's all either sharp and pointy or poisonous. First time walking through the desert, I swore colla cactus balls could actually jump and attack. By the time I left though I could mostly avoid trouble and was totally in love with the Sonoran Desert. It was hard to leave. 4 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WillyBob Posted May 4, 2018 Share Posted May 4, 2018 after living out here for 50 years, I can walk barefoot. You DO watch where you step. You have to do that even with shoes those cholla are something to avoid. I saw a campground in the middle of a forest of them. I bet nobody walked off the grounds ... I just drove by thinking, "You have to be kidding" 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave A Posted May 5, 2018 Share Posted May 5, 2018 One day I was minding my own business and decided it was time to eat. We live in perilous times but I never expected this. I reached into the potato sack and my hand was almost savaged by a potato shark. 2 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WillyBob Posted May 6, 2018 Share Posted May 6, 2018 I was going to comment on all the hummingbirds ... we used to feed them and had numbers like that. It was dangerous to go near the feeders. You get the feeling you might get impaled by them. I still get them w/o the sugar ... and they behave like kids on sugar .. They respond to plain water as well and w/o the expense/mess/bother of sugar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had 9 50 gallon drums of sugar to work with and on a regular year they will last two or thee seasons each so i am covered for a while. Right now they are feeding on Tulip Poplars so no amount of sugar from a feeder draws them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
