These birds all fly together as a group - they all come to eat from these flowers (or whatever else they are eating) together and then leave at the same time. Usually they are here for about 10 minutes at a time before moving on.

The rainy season has begun here, and last night we had a long, heavy rain with lightening. My Girlfriend told me that lightening is supposed to make mushrooms grow, so we went to look for them, and did see more than usual. I thought this was probably just due to the rain, but it looks like there is something to lightening encouraging mushroom growth according to this article: http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2010/04/100409-lightning-mushrooms-japan-harvest/
