I did take a little time today to sit for hummingbird photos. Lately I have had two females doing battles at the feeder. They were putting on a nice show but when I got my camera only one showed up. Here are 3 shots I did get. Don

Don great picture taking! I think even Dee is impressed.

Lucky guy SD. Can't get the hummingbirds to like me :(

They sure cute when they slow down so you can have a good look at them.

I didn't say that. FYI, however, hummingbirds have been banned from Hawaii for many years because they pollinate pineapple plants in an uncontrolled manner and would have ruined the crops. Not so many pineapples now but still no hummingbirds allowed.
We do, however, have the automotive variety of Hummer and I'm still ABSOLUTELY NOT going there with other definitions.

Excellent photos SD! Thank you!
-
Yes nice pics Don! We haven't had our usual numbers this year!
Turtles don't have manners. What's going on here? Our in-house shellback is growing manners? :D

Does the turtle mean these kind of Hummers??

Our minds must run in the same gutters. I believe we may be brothers from different mothers.

Get your mind out of the gutter (so mine can float through)!

My wife gave me a hummer about 10 years ago...
I traded it in in 2008.

Nice photos Don. It's a great reminder that every now and then we need to just stop and enjoy our surroundings.

Dee, I was going to ask the same question. I know that they can fly for long distances over water - I've heard that they can cross the Gulf of Mexico. But the trip from Cali to Oahu, may just be a little bit out of their range.

Dee, they have a hummingbird season in Hawaii. 12 gauge shotguns are a little overkill but a little 410 works good. The hardest part is not to shoot the feeders you are using to attract them. Not much meat on their bones, but if you can pluck them clean you can make a broth out of them.
-
Come on people get your heads out of the gutter! At 73 I think those beautiful birds are the only hummers I can attract anymore!!!!! So PLEASE don't be shooting them for BBQ!!! ::) Don

I only have 4 feeders out this year, we normally have 4-6. I just bought 3 of the glass ones I like. We will probably have 5 at least next year. They are tanking up for their trip across the water. So much fun to watch.
-
I used to hang three feeders by our deck and they were always busy - for some reason a couple years ago they just stopped showing up. I kept rotating the liquid in the feeder but they didn't come back so I stopped trying. Maybe it's time to fire it up again.

Great pictures Don, we have a new baby hummer that we call peanut.
