My feeders are as busy as they've ever been.
Mostly females, but on the right is a male Anna's with a bright red head.
Zoom...and off he goes.
As I said mostly females, so it was nice to see a male bird or two.
You have to admire the jewel-toned feathers on the throat.
Here he looks a bit pensive.
Now back to females - this time Rufous.
I had three, yes three birds at the same feeder - for a second or two anyway!
I have five or six birds - enough so I'm refilling my feeders every two to three days.
one year ago today Mom and I visited the Waddesdon Manor a Rothschild home in Buckinghamshire.
Yesterday my daughter and family came across a hummer that was on the ground. They texted me to ask what to do with it... I told them it was probably a fledge, and the parents were probably nearby so they should leave it be... which they did. It flew away. Love the pictures!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful hummingbird pictures! We just watched a program on Yellowstone in the Spring and they had some amazing up-close, slo-mo footage of hummingbirds.
ReplyDeleteJewel like is so apt in describing their feathers. These photos didn't enlarge the way your photos usually do Beth.
ReplyDeleteI am happy to report that I have seen the Annas back for just a few visits-much better than not at all.
ReplyDeleteOh my, they are so beautiful.
ReplyDeleteAhhhhh, the hummingbirds.....
