"Mr. Anna's Hummingbird!"
I have seen my adult male hummingbird every day this week.
The light has been good allowing me to capture him in full living color.
He's started courting the females. He flies straight up in the air, then dives down like a bullet, pulling out of the dive with a high-pitched chirp from his tail feathers. If you've never seen this behavior, here's a video link.
Spectacular Beth..he is so brilliant and what a dance he does! Thanks for sharing the link....happy counting hoping it’s going well and you have had new visitors 🦉🦅
ReplyDeleteWhat a handsome fellow he is! Thank you for sharing the link!
ReplyDeleteWow Beth he is a mighty good looking bird. That purple color is so majestic! Enjoy your weekend. Have any games to go to? RJ
ReplyDeleteOne day we were sitting on our deck and saw that courting behavior. At the time, we did not know what was going on! We thought we just had a hummingbird with a death wish. It is quite an amazing thing to see.
ReplyDeleteHi Beth! He is just so handsome! Their mating behaviour is something to behold!
ReplyDeleteWow--you got some absolutely gorgeous shots of that male Hummer! Wow!
