Our lavender bloomed in February and we had hummingbirds around the tiny flowers. It made me feel guilty that I wasn't a better hostess, so must buy a hummingbird feeder.
Chris, she is quite tame...wish I could get a similar shot of the male but he is very nervous. I think she must be the same bird as the last couple of years. Tame enough to fly right up to your face to check you out.
Mrs. M, thanks, she sat right there while I took about twenty pictures!
Sir J, thanks, as I said, a very friendly little bird.
Jan,I like them so much I even take a feeder to camp with us. Must be folks feed around the lake because they always show up the first day and get mad and fly around beeping when I take it down to go home. Thanks for the good wishes.
Wow! You caught one sitting still. We see them sometimes, but they are so quick, and I am slow to grab my camera. Very nice picture.
ReplyDeleteAdorable!!!!!!!!!! Great shot!
ReplyDeletethat is a great shot, i'm surprised it didn't immediately fly away.

if it was much bigger, would it be a Hummer bird?
ReplyDeleteA great photograph. I have never seen a hummingbird before.

Glytch.....grins....a LOT bigger!
ReplyDeleteSara, they are so delightfully feisty for something the size of your thumb. They fight like crazy.
What a lovely picture !
ReplyDeleteZhu, thank you. I was grateful to the hummer for posing. lol
ReplyDeleteI love these birds. Just can't get them in my shaded back yard. That's a very sweet shot.
ReplyDeleteThanks cathy, sorry you don't have them. They are so entertaining. I had a pair buzz right around my head when I went out on the porch today.
