Oh Hummingbird
The hummingbirds have been flocking here since late last week. On Monday afternoon, no fewer than 12 were hovering around, awaiting a chance to get to the feeder. I sat and watched them up close for about an hour that afternoon. I took a few pictures, but eventually gave that up for the simple pleasure of focused seeing and hearing those wings and chirps.

Awesome, incredible this movement you were able to capture. Lovely. Wish we had hummingbirds in the Netherlands...
ReplyDeleteHave you received your package, Rebecca? :)
You are certainly being blessed with wonders of nature! Hummingbirds and a new puppy! Is your son and step-mother doing better? Have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteLovely !
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely post! And what beautiful photos!
ReplyDeleteGreat shots Rebecca. Our hummingbird days have peaked but we still have a few a day. We get the Rufus with the bright red throats. These ones you snapped are lovely. Looks like males & females! Gorgeous.

How lovely, Rebecca! We haven't gotten any hummingbirds in the garden or at my fushia this year that I've seen! I've missed them. Your pictures are always so wonderful! xo Cait
ReplyDeleteI've always wanted a humming bird feeder, but they aren't indigenous to this area. However, we do have the rare hummingbird moth--astonishing in it's own right!
