Just a hummin




These little creatures still amaze me! They sound like a rocket when they zoom past your head not 5 inches away and then if you get more than one that is fighting over the feeders then you really have a traffic jam! Can't believe something so small can make such a noise! They let me know this morning that they are down on feed. Hope you all have a wonderful day!

Nice hummer shots! Mine come at dusk, so I can't capture the color.

shirley,
They actually are around when the weather isn't too hot and most of the time we see them when it is going on to five or later.

Linda,
Do you see them that often up there?

lol! And they are so challening to photograph, too. Your second photo is amazing!
We have a Rufus hummingbird that has become territorial about our feeder, and chases away everyone else. He will even fly up to my bedroom window and hover there staring at me and chittering, flashing his red neck at me. lol! What a cheeky little fellow!
