2010 Ruby-throated Hummingbirds Vol. 7
Nice grouping to start a new page, nanny. Yep, she looks like one of those bobbing toys, I remember those too...lol
Uncle, that must be cool seeing so many at once. We don't have but 1 on any feeder at a given time. One girl is continuously guarding the feeders and immediately swoops down on on intruders. We've seen the lone male a few more times, easy to spot since his back is much darker.
I liked the big pics too, Hack, and being able to see fine details. These days the bigger the pic, the better on my eyesight...lol
awww, cute start Nanny!
No pictures, but you'll all be happy that I've had a daily visitor it seems for the past couple of weeks. I had another (or the same) adult male here just a while ago. Can't seem to get a picture though.
I think/hope they may have finally found you!!
or early migration?
On second thought the juvenile male may be an adult molting male.
Nice shots dellrose!! Thanks for the info on the juvenile. Noted! ;)
Nice Rose and Burd!
We were gone all day yesterday...with FIL having major surgery. But so far today I have not seen the mature male that had taken over the front feeder and perched in the birch tree all the time. The juvies and female sare busy tho!
Form earlier this week....this mature male is soooo tiny!

Great photos everyone. Rose-loved that cropped from the group photo.
Nanny, hope your FIL will recover quickly.
Wonderful shots everyone!
Nice shots burn and nanny!
Burn, your hummer is beautiful with the fuschia blooms.
Nanny, that's quite a bright red on your little guy-cute.
Pelle, love that angle. Are those fuschia blooms too?
Hi Duc, Thanks those are Honeysuckle.
Very cool Pelle!
Pelle, you're an artist!
Burn, those flower pics are gorgeous.
What a gorgeous throat your little guy has Nanny.
DEFINITELY MIGRATING. I haven't had hummers all summer and then today, two male fighting over the feeder.
Unfortunately, there was heavy cloud cover, so pics aren't great, but I'm excited that they are back!
Yay...that you have hummers...booo that migration is starting!
and a nice pic too!
Oh Hack...love that last one!
Had a bad thing happen but then it turned good yesterday.
We had one slam into the sliding door and there it was laying on the deck...I thought OMG it is dead. But then I saw its eyes moving and he twitched a little. I went out and picked the poor little guy(juvie male) up. I wanted to comfort him if he wasn't going to survive.
I held it about a minute and then he got in a perched position and took off. He landed not very far for another minute or so and then took off. I really hope he was/is okay.
It was so cool to have that tiny little guy in my hand....like holding air, I told my DH!
Thanks nanny, hope your little guy is okay.
Hack
