we have four hummingbird feeders outside of work, so I tried to snap some photos of them.

Bad Feather Day

My Yard

A female or possibly a juvenile. He or she seemed a little smaller and stalkier than the other hummingbirds visiting my garden so I thought it may be a juvinile.

Installed a new Hummingbird feeder in the backyard this weekend and immediately the male youth showed up. Set up my camera and a way we went. I want to get a shot of his wings stopped in midair. Because we are having a wet summer this years there haven’t seen many bright days for high speed shots. Hope for sunshine today.

Ruby Throated Hummingbird

A ruby throated hummingbird perches and provides a chance to get a picture.

Bee balm (Mondarda didyma) is a native mint that is strongly dependent on ruby-throated hummingbirds for pollination. Note the strategic placement of the anthers and pistils.

I know these aren't the brightest images, but they were taken at 7:30 tonight...

This is officially the first Ruby Throated Hummingbird I have seen this year! He kept buzzing around the garden all day, and luckily I had put out some fresh nectar just in case. It's great to see him because hopefully the little miss will arrive shortly and then the games will begin! (Hilarious displays of affection which include sky dancing, chasing etc...)

Btw, Sean and I have names for the Hummingbirds. The males are Antonio and the females Penelope. (They winter in Mexico so it only made sense!) ;)

Late May

Another trip back to Aug 2015 and Ruby Throated Hummingbirds in my garden. Late Aug and early Sept this year seemed to be the best time to capture them. This series is from one or two days in late Aug.
