Hummingbirds

[Woodsman]

Early morning and also evening are wonderful times to watch the action. We refer to the evening activity as Last Call.

They're so mean to each other sometimes. One will be feeding, then another swoops in and delivers a full body slam to knock the other away. Happens like lightening, and it's hilarious!

We have watched them chase each other too. Have you ever watched them take a shower in a sprinkler. We had a lawn sprinkler, the kind that would send up numerous sprays on a bar so that the spray would slowly go up over and down then back the other way. The Hummingbirds would hover in the spray and follow it back and forth to take a shower.

Haha, we haven't done that, but thanks for the suggestion!

Sat outside in the early morning sun this AM and this little girl came to the feeder.
