I don't want to bore everyone with all these Hummingbird shots so this will be the last one I post for awhile.
He returned and has a rival male. It was a windy day and he spent most of the day perched and clinging to the bush, defending his territory from another male.
The Ruby Throated Hummingbird that's been frequenting my feeder. He's an elusive little fellow! It's hard to catch him because he just appears out of nowhere it seems, drinks some nectar for a few seconds then zips off for a while!
This little Hummingbird hung out at my feeder for a few days. He looked a little disheveled. Maybe a few too many altercations?
Technically not that great but this is more like what we see looking at hummingbirds. ....Which I never get enough of. ~
….From the tip of its bill to the tip of its tail it measures from 7.5 cm to slightly more than 9 cm. No larger than a good-sized insect…😎😎
I walked into this small wooded meadow at Broughtons Wildlife Education Area near Marietta Ohio were a trio or more of Ruby Throated Hummingbirds were busy feeding on pale or Yellow Touch Me Nots
Price County WI. This female was very intently watching a male do his display flight, her eyes were glued on him, following him back and forth.
Since this is the first time I did not give up on these guys I ended up getting what I found out were migrants heading south. Seems the males take off far earlier than when I set the feeders out which explains why I did not see any mature males.
I'll try again next spring as they claim that many revisit the same feeders during migration, often on the same day. Lots of hummer info:
