Hummingbirds

Beautiful colours...I like how they hover in mid air

Great color and shots. Always loved seeing these guys in flight.
My wife had me rolloing on the floor on our honey moon in the Caymans when we come upon one low to the ground at a bush.
Being she was NYC girl and not much outdoorsy at the time, she freaked and thought it was a very large carribean bug. :)

How are you getting all these shots of them sitting still? Do you put knock-out drops in the feeder?

Is that a Ruby Throated Humingbird on the top?

It's easy, Duck. Just hang a feeder near a tree. These guys are very territorial and will guard their food and chase the others away.

Yes, it's a ruby throated. The red is irredescent (sp?) and doesn't show well without the flash or direct sunlight. This one is a male.

LOL iliad!!! Not, that's funny!

Thanks for the comments everyone!

I think the one on top is an Anna's hummer? whatever it is we have them here too, the color is amazing like their heads were dipped in metallic magenta ink!!

Very Nice Shots VT!!

funny..they have a little world for themselves...

Gees! Former Pres Clinton Loved these animals as well, I heard him say it! How he Loved them so much! (I am sooo sorry, it's a punch line waiting to be filled) Poor Little Hummers, why did they have to tarnish such a worderfull little bird?

These are gorgeous - would love to see some more!

REALLY LOVELY GUYS.
