Yesterday afternoon, Belle and I were enjoying the back patio when a hummingbird flew into sight and hovered within ten feet. Looking our direction, probably to remind me that the feeder was empty.
So, I grabbed one of the feeders, went inside, cleaned it, made sugar water, and filled it. Came back outside and hung it on the Shepherds hook.
I haven't seen that little zoomer since. I don't know what his problem was, but the feeders are full and he has vacated the airspace.
There is a purple martin house on the other end of the yard, and they must have fledglings in the nest, because the birds are giving the cat hell. The cat is spending a lot of time under patio furniture.

Got a lot of Hummers around here this time of year. It is a lot of entertainment to sit out on the porch with an adult recreational beverage in the evening and watch their aerobatic show as they sip the nectar we put out. BP goes way down.
