[Hummer]

Great photo. The Broad-tailed Hummingbird on the fence is not happy.

It seems that feeders have to be placed at the 9-10 ft. height to deny the bears. They can jump with both hind feet off the ground like a basketball player. I keep our feeders up at night and lower them during the day. Daytime bear raids are everyday in Jamestown now. This is shaping up to be a big bear problem year. We have one or two bears moving through the yard every night or two, detected by wildlife cams and fresh scat.
