Hummingbird
The hummingbirds are back in full force. This fellow with the beautiful red throat was the first one I’d seen this year, and he showed up about a week ago. All the feeders are going strong and there are now a (collective noun?) of them around. We once read that you should have at least 2 feeders as they are quite territorial. We now have 3 and they chase each other around chirping like mad. They are not shy at all; I was basically standing right next to the feeder to get this shot.

What shutter speed were you using? Great pic!

Gorgeous shot!
The collective noun for hummingbirds is a Charm. Don’t you love it?
nice photo but you don’t have to use red coloring. They will come regardless. And I don’t think the dye is good for them.
I appreciate your posts and the effort you have put into the Willard suitcases.
Thank you
Cecelia, thanks for your comment. I don’t use red dye, just a straight forward mix of 4 parts water and 1 part sugar. The jar that holds the syrup on that feeder is made of red glass! And thanks for your kind words about the suitcases. Best, Jon
Great ppost thanks
