Enjoying my hummers before they fly south





Sometimes I get lazy and I don't fill their feeder when it gets empty.  I'll keep it filled now though, because they'll be leaving me next month!  I have to enjoy them while I can.  (I think the white-throated hummingbird is a female, and the red-throated one is a male. Why do the males get all the color???)

Have a great day!

I love your hummingbird pics! I'm so impressed that you've been able to get such good pictures of them. I don't see them often, but anytime I do they just won't sit still. :-)

Thanks, Rainey.

They love to sit on my clothesline outside on the deck.
