Absolutely love these tiny birds!! <br /><br />I am no bird expert, but I've read their sugar water is better for them without added red coloring. My little guys come back every year, and don't like to share their feeder - they chase each other away.<br /><br />I feel so bad, I always buy hanging fuschia baskets for them to enjoy - but couldn't find any decent ones this year. Must be a tough year for them with our drought, a lot less flowers means a lot less nectar - guess they all flew up by you :)aurorahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04731529798233954353noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2603513755231165590.post-42514608576381125522012-07-25T18:17:52.867-06:002012-07-25T18:17:52.867-06:00Those shots are great, I'm jealous!

I've never been able to draw hummers in so I just feed the sparrows :-( But they're fat happy sparrows :-)<br /><br />Have you ever seen a hummingbird moth?

They don't ever touch you or anything, just whiz past your head at light speed with an insanely loud buzzzzzzzzz to freak you out. I think they do it because they can. <br /><br />Glad you got the pic's. Somewhere in my cell phone I have pic's of our little hummers too. A few with red a few with a bright green and they had a nest going in the one tree 'til the last storm took it out. The tree, not the nest. I hope there were no eggs in the nest.Cut-N-Jumphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10355349642284506192noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2603513755231165590.post-53871639158231191122012-07-25T10:36:24.396-06:002012-07-25T10:36:24.396-06:00I love my ruby-throated hummers.

There were two Hummers eating from the flowers, they kept flying around me, one even came up to eye level and checked me out! LOL They are so funny!! They were less than 2 feet away!!Reddunappyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02789213785183576404noreply@blogger.com
