I love watching the hummingbirds come to our feeders. I have a few fushia baskets, red salvia, diplidenia, million bells and mandevilla around so they are attracted to them too. I was able to capture one of the little ones on camera the other evening! They are a little blurry since I don't have all the fancy gadgets, but you can get an idea. I think it must be the female because you can't see any red on the throat of this ruby-throated hummingbird. :)
You can see her hovering just above the drinking hole.
Now she takes a few precious sips.
Taking a rest on the arbour that the feeder is hanging from.
And resting...all that hovering really poops you out!
I really do love sitting in the courtyard watching these amazing little birds!!
I can't believe you caught the picture of her! That is amazing...when they visit my hanging baskets they are in and out so fast it's crazy
ReplyDeleteI know, I can't capture them on the flowers 'cause they move on so fast! This is a first for me, so kinda exciting catching her on the camera!
