Description I decided to replace a previous deviation with this one.  I have been photographing hummingbirds for around twenty years and this is the first tie that I have seen one of these little guys.  It looks like he will stick around, so I should have more photos of him soon!

Hummers are my favorite bird.  They are so tiny, fast and just so lovely.  This is a great capture, Keith!

Territorial little buggers, though. There's one we get that chases the others away just so it can hog the feeder.

To me that is part of what makes them so charming to watch! They are just so adorable.

Thank you!   It is hard to describe the thrill I get when someone this cool-looking shows up at one of my feeders for the first time!

I can imagine!  My mom always had hummingbird feeders out and she had a beautiful flower garden in the front yard on our farm ( I was born in Oklahoma), and we always had so many hummingbirds, and bees around.   I love seeing your hummingbird photos!

Yes, I agree.  They make one smile and laugh at their antics.

My favorite part of the warmer months: getting to start the morning on the front porch with fresh coffee and a yard full of hummingbirds!

Sounds like a winner to me!  Coffee and hummers!
