Missed one.

There's at least 41 birds in that shot. The one you labeled 38 is actually two birds in the same visual area.

You're right! I missed that one.

There's also another one, just the tail sticking out over the edge of the roof above #1, and at least another three or four timid ones not shown in the picture, sitting on the deck railing and in the little potted Mandarin orange tree, waiting for things to quiet down a bit before trying to get to the feeders.

And to think I get excited when I see just one hummingbird at ours.

No, two is enough. I buy unrefined sugar at Costco, 60 pounds at a time, just for the hummingbirds. This time of year I go through eight to ten quarts of hummingbird nectar (water:sugar, 4:1) every day.
