My male hummingbirds are AWOL...
...fortunately I have lots of females...
...like this Rufous Hummingbird.
I have several females - at least three I think.
They are aggressive little things and try to run off the Goldfinches!
I also have several female Anna's.
I wonder if the small throat patch means this is a young male Rufous.
Both the Rufous...
...and the Anna's have been frequenting my feeders.
With our very hot weather I am changing out the nectar every other day so it does not spoil and harm the birds.
The male Rufous used to hang out in the trees in the backyard. Now I jsut see females.
Kinda' strange.
I do have lots of plants in bloom now and the hummers are working away.
They are so very acrobatic.
Buzzzz!!!!
Such a pretty post Beth!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! My neighbor has a hummingbird feeder up but I keep forgetting to ask if he ever sees any in our area.
ReplyDeleteI had lunch today at our local store. There was a display of art for sale. Included was a photo of a hummingbird. I looked at it and thought, "Beth's photos are better than this one." Plus it had a pretty hefty price tag. Your Hummer photos are the best!
ReplyDeleteI love your hummingbirds. I think the Annas are my favorite hummingbird!
