Hummingbird ID?

Post by steg »

I've only seen this little guy around here a couple times. It still amazes me how fast they are when flying.

Yep, she is a cutie too. The first few weeks they have a jelly bean body and short tail feathers.

I like how you captured her little foot hanging down. :)

Thanks. Just a lucky shot. I probably sat there and took 15 or 20 pics before she left. Then I went back and checked things.

My hummingbird feeder was mangled by something (raccoon??) and doesn't work so I had to use the oriole feeder I had around. Wasn't sure if it would work or not, but they seemed to have figured it out.
