Mr. HelloYarn got all David Attenborough on the hummingbirds today and waited until they bravely came near to drink so he could take photos.
They're funny little buggers, starting fights with each other and hogging the food.
My neighbor brought me this little baby hummingbird he found on his deck. It had fallen from its nest, and he didn't know what to do with her. So he gave her to me, and with God's help, i figured it's parents had to be eating at one of my feeders. So I placed it on one of them and sure enough, within just a few minutes, momma bird showed up and started feeding her right away.
So she sat on that feeder for 3 days, even during a horrible lightening storm that knocked windows out up and down my street. But in the morning I checked and there she was and when I saw her around at first light, momma was already feeding her. Thank you JESUS! She few away this morning and came back this afternoon. So she is well...

Close up to show mark on her chin - probably a result of a stabbing by another hummingbird. Doesn't appear to be a colored feather, which is possible in this variety. Los Ranchos, NM
I ended up photographing hummingbirds using my macro lens. It's a rather easy thing to do when you're inside the hummingbird aviary at the Arizona-Sonoran Desert Museum in Tucson, AZ.

My DH's grandparents have several bird feeders outside their house, and, after a LOT of patience, was able to capture this beautiful hummingbird. (Out of both hummingbird pictures, I think this is my favorite -- it's eating from the feeder!)
The ruby-throated hummingbird (Archilochus colubris) is a species of hummingbird that generally spends the winter in Central America, Mexico, and Florida, and migrates to Eastern North America for the summer to breed. It is by far the most common hummingbird seen east of the Mississippi River in North America.
This hummingbird is from 7 to 9 cm (2.8 to 3.5 in) long and has an 8 to 11 cm (3.1 to 4.3 in) wingspan. Weight can range from 2 to 6 g (0.071 to 0.212 oz), with males averaging 3.4 g (0.12 oz) against the slightly larger female which averages 3.8 g (0.13 oz).[2][3] Adults are metallic green above and greyish white below, with near-black wings. Their bill, at up to 2 cm (0.79 in), is long, straight, and very slender. As in all hummingbirds, the toes and feet of this species are quite small, with a middle toe of around 0.6 cm (0.24 in) and a tarsus of approximately 0.4 cm (0.16 in). The ruby-throated hummingbird can only shuffle if it wants to move along a branch, though it can scratch its head and neck with its feet
These are a couple of my little hummingbirds that haven't migrated south yet.
I've been away again and hope to catch up with everyone soon.

In courtship, the male attracts the female with an aerial display. He dives close to a female, his feathers making a loud whining sound near the bottom of an oval trajectory. Rufous Hummingbirds are highly territorial, defending feeding territories not only while breeding but also during migration. Rufous Hummingbirds do not sing but make warning chips in response to perceived threats. Their wings make a whine much like the sound of a cicada.
