I am sharing a hummingbird sitting on a man made perch on my deck. It was made from a drum stick. The hummingbirds don’t seem to mind. The feeder is to the far left (not in this photo). They will sit on the perch for hours looking back and forth for other hummingbirds. They do not like to share the nectar in the feeder. Even though there are five feeding stations, they want it all for themselves. They are so tiny but so very territorial. I cannot wait for their return in the spring. I always put up at least two feeders, sometimes three. They are so entertaining to watch. Nature has so much to offer.
Woah, what a great shot! It looks similar to our Anna’s Hummingbirds. They are fun to watch and are very aggressive when protecting their feeding spots. lol So much fun to watch I love them. Thank you for posting this for the challenge, it’s perfect. : D
Ours are usually the Ruby-throated hummingbirds. You are very welcome.
I love watching the hummingbirds. I don’t see them much anymore since I don’t get outside much. Love the way you captured this one.
I do to Barbara. They will be here soon, a few weeks hopefully.
Every time you post about various kind of birds, I always receive a wonderful new knowledge!
Well that is good to hear, I need to post about them more, I have lots in my yard now.
Of course, you must do it!
Thank you very much, takes patience.
Yes absolutely it is worth the wait!
Love your hummingbirds, and your photos, Carol 😀
I cannot wait for spring to see more, thanks Norman.
Wonderful photograph, Carol! Hummingbirds are awesome!
Thanks Windy, I love these little birds.
You’re always welcome <3 Thank you for sharing! 🙂
Never seen a hummingbird in real life but seems good to have around
They are amazing Pamela.
I wish you could see one. They always bring a smile to watch them.
I did not realize they were so hard to capture. Excellent!
Yes, they fly away if they see you.
What an amazing capture! I’ve always wanted to see a hummingbird.
Thanks Ellie, it is rare to catch one still.
I too wish you could see a live hummingbird, they are so special.
That’s awesome…the photo is very pretty too! Thank you for sharing!
Thanks! It was a special moment.
beautiful picture of a small bird hummingbird.
Thanks, yes hummingbirds are tiny and a challenge to capture.
This is a remarkable photo of the little hummingbird Carol. Congratulations.
Thank you so much. It is very rare to capture these tiny birds, especially sitting still.
I cannot wait for spring which should be here in a few weeks.
