Thank you!!!! Yes, this is a little Anna's hummingbird that spent a summer with us. We normally get ruby throated and Rufous Hummingbirds, but last summer we had this little Anna's and a red one that I still haven't been able to identify yet, nor could I get a picture of it. It was very nervous.Β

You're welcome.Β Hummingbirds are my favorite bird.Β I have gotten a couple of shots of them, but I have to sit for a good little while and be very patient!

I love them as well. We used to get plastic flowers that we could put nectar in, and you hold them in your mouth and they will drink out of it. We called them hummingbird kisses.Β

This is easy to, but it takes some time for them to get use to you sitting by the feeder. Well same with the mouth flower too.

Cool, will have to check it out.Β Our neighbor's granddaughter could stand very still and they would light on her finger.Β Never seen one do that before.

Yep they are very trusting, as long as you don't startle them. I had a friend that would feed them out of his hand. He sneezed and they didn't come back for a week!Β

Oh no!Β Poor babies.Β Don't know why that reminded me of this, but..well...it did, so now you must suffer through reading about it. Hahahaha.Β When my grandson was a baby (he's 3 now), we could sneeze or yawn (we yawn loudly, lol), and he would cry.Β To this day, he does not like loud noises.Β Now, hasn't your life been enriched by reading that?Β

I love it when they do that.Β It is so freakin' funny.Β I would wait until one of mine would walk near my foot and move my foot and watch them do that.Β My daughter always said it was mean of me, but it is so funny to watch.Β Guess I have a bit of my Dad in me.

LOL I do that all the time too! It is not mean... It is helping to ensure that the cats keen reflexes stay in top working order! They thank us for that!!!Β Β Β

Oh, is that what it is?Β I must remember to tell my daughter that next time I do that to one of her three cats. haha

LOL Well how much beauty sleep do they need?Β

I dunno.Β Want me to go ask them?Β I will tell 'em you wanna know. hahahaha

LOL Yeah go take a good look at them, then tell them I wanted to know... That should make them lose some sleep trying to figure that one out!

The pain?Β I tripped on my daughter's top step of her deck and strained a muscle in my hip/leg, and yes, I am always this graceful!Β Nite nite!

Well it happens, I can trip on a shadow!

Hubby will be home for 8 days and we have a lot to get done in a short amount of time, but I will be on as I can.

Oh the stories I could tell about my "gracefulness."

Actually, I think my Hubby's stories are worse.Β At least I have never cut anything off...so far (he is a carpenter).

Bahahahaha, I think I'd probably like to live to see my next birthday.Β Waking them both is like waking a sleeping bear.Β I have no death wish!Β I shall bid you adieu for tonight.Β I am in considerable pain.Β About to take my night meds and turn in.Β My Hubby is supposed to be coming in around 5 AM from Denver.Β Haven't seen him since September, so I must have my beauty sleep tonight!

Thank you so much! He was definitely telling me I was as close as he would allow!

Yes, I understand those words all so well.Β Usually, I get too close or don't get the shot.Β Nice job.

LOL Yeah we love are little Anna hummingbirds, they get so grumpy! You can even see this one is getting agitated with me, that little eyebrow is starting to bend at me! We get so beautiful rufous hummingbirds as well, they are even more cranky!

I hope he did not add: "you're close enough" - and "disturbing my peace"! Β Nice capture!
π: 0 β©: 1
LOL Yeah he was looking at me that way!

Thank you, that was our resident grumpy last summer. Between him and a rufus, we had little fights at the feeder all summer!

Haha, he does look a little grumpy! It would be amazing if we had Hummingbirds here in England

You would love them I am sure, you can even feed them by hand. I use to have a plastic flower that I would put in my mouth that I could put sugar water in. They would feed right between my eyes. Sometimes there wings would brush my cheeks.

Oh wow, really? That's amazing!!

They use to sell the feeders for your mouth, but I can't find them anymore. I will have to make me another one! LOL

Haha! I definitely need to try that one day
