While visiting with my brother and his wife over the weekend, I noticed several hummingbirds going berserk near their feeder hanging off the back porch.

It appears that Hummingbirds are Crimson Tide fans by nature because they went nuts when I stepped onto the deck to watch them. The red water in the feeder had attracted some already but the additional red seemed to send them into a feeding frenzy. They dive-bombed each other as they fought for better positioning on the feeder.

If you're interested in watching them fatten up before they began their annual trip to coastal areas, you better get on board now. Male hummingbirds depart in October with the females following behind two weeks later.

I captured a couple of them on video for my sister-in-law. Enjoy the music by The Civil Wars!
