Here we go:
Yesterday, several hummingbirds were fighting fiercely around the sole feeder at the kitchen window. To put an end to the stress I put up two more around in our garden.
While doing so one of the birds constantly buzzed around my head. I thought that maybe I could get that fearless "bugger" on the screen, and I did.
First he checked out the feeder.

 |
| .. checking if anyone is watching me.. |
 |
| ...nope... |
 |
| OK, maybe I should show off a little bit for this nice female... |
 |
| What a wonderful opportunity this was for me. Thank you little bird! |
I guess it is a Ruby-throated-hummingbird, male, because I read that they are the only ones that are breeding up here in North-East America.
Bea, he is just beautiful, and you've got the neck just perfect. It's so brilliant. You're going to enjoy having three feeders, I'll bet.
ReplyDeleteExcellent photos today, thanks so much for sharing.
ReplyDeleteI love your photos. I love watching the little hummingbirds we have here. We put of 3 feeders too but they are zooming all over the place including right by our ear. They fight over the same feeder and then eventually find another. What fun!! I guess we're just easy to entertain!
