Let's hope the people that hummer depends upon KEEP FEEDING through the late fall and allllll the way through the winter!!!

That's a rufous humming bird. Usually these guys don't hang around all winter, but I can have several Anna's hummingbirds throughout the winter. The feeders are more for making viewing easier, they don't rely on the feeders as their food source according to local biologists, their main diet is small insects.

Here's one of the Anna's hummingbirds in the snow...

Well, it got up to 86F today in Harris County, Texas... So feel free to come on down.

Nice bird shots. My father-in-Law would love him as humming birds are his favorite.

Beautiful shot! I feel sorry for it. It has to be cold. I feed the hummers in the spring and summer, but the ones here have left. How is it going to find insects under all that snow? It was 80 degree yesterday in Arkansas.
