The Fascination Continues

I’ve been so busy with work that I haven’t had opportunity to stop and check how my new hummingbird feeder is working for our tiniest of neighbors.  However, today when I got home I noticed there were quite a few hummers in the neighborhood, all vying for a place at the watering hole.  I took minute (actually, a FEW) to capture the moment…it REALLY does take a lot of patience to catch these beautiful creatures on camera!

In my experience and observation, hummers don’t feed together very well…they buzz at each other and shoo away those who may be feeding to get their spot.  Who knows why, but this evening there were several hovering near, and none seemed to be in a fighting mood…they shared space and allowed me to capture action I’ve not been able to before now.

So enjoy the photos, and my apologies if I’m boring my readers with my love for hummers. By far they are one of God’s most interesting creations to me and I so love to watch them!
