Hummingbird Adventures # 17

Not for sure, but I think it's Zippy.

I've been a bad thread keeper. I am going to start a new thread, and try to catch you all up on the continuing adventures of my hummer friends. As always, please share your stories and photos too!
Makes it a lot of fun.
Okay going all the way back to September 11th. Lets see what I got! (Besides not enough time!) : - )
Here is a blurry photo of the baby girl. It wasn't Zippy perched on the stained glass. But this young lady who is helping herself to a quick drink at the feeder.

And from the other side of the feeder.

Pretty spread wings as she prepares to perch on the micro drip line.

Rats! Forgot to attach the photo! Here it is! : - )

I think this is Bully Boy, but I also think he is Zooms kid. LOL! Behaves just like him, but he doesn't sound like him.

Yup, definitely Bully Boy.

Now he's perched again.

He let his sister have a drink.

Drat, I did it again!

I took this one when I was playing with my new camera, which doesn't have a zoom lens. Of the 50 or so photos I took, only this one seemed to be worth keeping, and I had to crop and enlarge it to see what I thought I was seeing. SW, I think I have my own "Trickster"----look closely behind the feeder!

Okay that takes us to the 13, because I guess I didn't get any photos of hummers on the 12th. Only got a few on the 13th, but here ya go!
Some one is being shy.

Looks that way to me too, ima. Even though I had to take off my glasses and hold the lap top really close. Even still a nice photo. Sneaky birds! : - D
Got to love 'em.
Even if they do boring things like show you their back. This one is a profile, but looks grainy.
I guess I'm going to break down come spring and see about a photography class. Maybe they'll let me into the Sr. Ctr, even if I am not old enough yet. Forget about the college. Unless you are full time student, you aren't getting a class. Sigh.
Or maybe I was just feeling bad that day. I know it was me and not the camera. Last one from the 13th.
Oh, and I delete most of the hummer photos, crop some and leave others uncropped, it all depends . . .

Ima, took this one on the 14th and did crop it. Pretty wing feathers.

Cropped this one too. Really hard to get a frontal flying view.

Left this one uncropped. It's kind of blurry, but it does show context and in this case, I can see some of the markings, which tells me this is Baby Girl. She is getting bolder as the days go on.

Didn't do anything to this photo either. Must have been feeling better.

I did crop Baby Girl's photo here.

Cropped again of BG.

Better cropped photo of BG.

Uncropped. Look at BG's belly!

Kind of grainy again due to cropping, but look at that belly!
KC, look at those tiny talons peeking out! LOL!

Another of BG, while perched. Cropped too.

Last one from the 14th. I left it as it was. While it is a little blurry I wanted to get the wing spread, as she perched.
Still got more coming.

First photo on the 15th, of a hummer.

Last one from the 15th, also cropped. I see feet!

Bully Boy on the 16th, uncropped.

Another visitor.

Looking a bit ruffled a couple of hours later.

Not for positive, but I think this is Baby Girl.

Cropped version of the same hummer.

Showing me it's back while perched.

Perched outside on the wire. BG is getting braver.
One more for the 16th to follow.

Flurry of feathers and feet. For some reason, was my favorite photo of the day. I did crop it.
More soon. Need a break.
WIB,
SW

Onward to September 17th. I have a lot of photos of Bully Boy perched on the wire right over my head.
You can almost see some color under his chin.

It's really gripping that wire tight.

Close up of it's head. I can actually see eyeballs. LOL!

Different view, shows freckles.

Cropped this photo of a hummer flying at the top of the gh.

H.bird flying across top of gh. Dragonfly over the dead part of that banana leaf.
