Stopped on the garden fence for a few seconds this morning. There has been a bright colored male around, but haven't seen him for a while.
What a chubby looking little hummer! He looks like a flying peanut![/QUOTE]Now that you mention it, I see it is sort of peanut shaped.
Other than the sounds of their wings humming, I've only noticed a chattering sound mainly when they are squabbling over food.Ron,
Have you ever really listened to the sounds the make?
GOD Bless

Have you ever heard them collide in mid air? You would think both of them would die from the impact!
I know what you mean. I was out in the woods wearing a red ball cap once years ago, when all of a sudden I had one zoom in and stare me in the face from about six inches away.I have a red ball cap that I wear outside when working (ACK! Forgive my cursing! ). The hummingbirds love to fly up and almost poke their beak into my ears! Wife gets such a kick out of it. A couple of times, I seriously jumped from being so startled, but usually the sounds they make are just so unmistakable to me that I usually won't flinch.
Great pic. Scruffy little thing though, ain't it?
