We are learning about hummingbirds. On the way to and from shopping we keep seeing hummingbird feeders stuck on windows and hanging off decks so the other day we decided to put one up.
Not much time had passed before we started getting humming birds. We experimented with the food to see which they liked best. The plain sugar mixed in water was the winning food so we put up two more feeders and have attracted a mating pair. It didn’t look like they were fighting.
Today is the first time I ever heard their call. It’s so cute. Of course they travel so quickly that they literally buzz by.
Today was also the first time I’ve actually seen one sit down for more than 10 seconds at a time.
In this picture the humming bird is well camouflaged by the background trees. This one sits here for hours at a time. We don’t know if it’s claiming this new pink feeder or what it’s doing. I’m wondering if it’s injured or maybe pregnant. We are just keenly interested.
Then it perched itself on the top of these wooden wind chimes
