One of the perks of moving into this house is that Chadd had definitely lured in the local hummingbird population. All I have to do now is keep my feeders full as we move toward the fall migration southward.
This hummer didn't trust me and kept looking over its shoulder every time I went to click the shutter. There was a female stuck in the garage for most of today - drawn in by the red emergency cord on the opener. It finally flew out the side door on its own.
They are very territorial and will stake out a feeder and keep all the other birds away from it.
This is my favorite picture from today. This female flew straight at me while it tried to figure out what I was doing.
Finally some sharing!
I liked when they flew up to look at me through the nectar.
Our feeder in the front of the house gets lots of activity too. We have three total, but I think the count will have to go up next summer.
