I DID IT!!!!!!

I finally got a photo or two of a hummingbird!  It took lots of patience and lots of photos that didn’t turn our very good.

 

I hope you can see the tiny little green body getting a bite to eat in the middle of the hollyhock…

Here is a side view

And my favorite, the hummer looking right at me wondering what I was doing.

The hummer’s have left my feeders and just feed in the yard now…

Because the honey bees have found the feeders.

Fooey!

But I have lots an lots of trumpet shaped flowers in my yard…just because I want Hummers so they are not going hungry.

Everyday I have anywhere from 5 to 10 regular little hummers that spend their summer with us.  Lately we are seeing other hummers on their way through to their winter homes, so I don’t mind that the bees are cleaning up the sugar water.

I have lots of food for everyone.

Hummingbird Nests

Two little families of Hummingbirds have built nests in one of our really old  sheds.

I keep waiting for the little birds to hatch, but then they do and I miss them.  Darn it.

Anyway, I’ll keep watching.  The next set of eggs I hope to see hatch and if I do so will you!
