Great capture Ron....Looks a lot smaller than what i see around here
Don

These are quite small, I'm guessing not much more than three inches tall. I don't know much about them, but we have two different kinds. Both about the same size, don't know if it's just the difference in male and female, or two different species.


Thanks Don and Everyone else for your comments,

Ron

Heres a couple more pics of the other one.

These lil hummers just capture my heart. The 1st pic just melted me.

I included this website to try & figure out what kind of hummers are in your pics. BTW, your pics are 10 times prettier than on the website. http://www.hummingbirds.net/species.html

Ron,
Those are some great pics! You definately have a talent!
I was so proud of myself yesterday to get a shot of a ruby throated hummer at my feeder..........................but now I feel Walmart on Rodeo drive :P lol
BTW, that hummingbird.net is great for tracking migration in the spring

Keep those pics coming; they keep me humble :P

those are great hard to get them sitting---their normally going like crazy --they use the sugar from the plants necture to super charge themselves while eating small insects --I heard recently--funny I thought they "lived off solely from the necture" myself up till then---Ivan

Many Thanks too All for your input.

I have my feeder about 6' away from the tree's. They will feed at the feeder then perch in tree's and watch the feeder. When another hummer shows up they will attack. Seems they spend more time fussing over the feeder than feeding.

the males are very "protective" of their "sugar" source will always allow a females but no other males to drink---the males will fight badly over a suger source---they need it to live and for breeding rights both---its a matter of life and death and they treat it that way----I have several of ruby type hummers that visit my back yard in florida ---the hotter it gets the more they need the "sugar"----and the quicker it "sours"---Ivan
