Fall Hummers

After Hurricane Ike there seemed to be a lot of displaced hummingbirds as we had more hummers around the two weeks after Ike than we normally have. As of today most have moved on their migration.  SO I spent some time out this week trying to capture a few. 

Help me decide.  This one?  Hummer1   or this one?  Hummer2 or this one? LookingUpHummer

These were not as good as I would like but thought they were different  DancingHummerHummerTongue

Then there's one more Hummer

Sorry there are so many but had fun doing it.  Thanks for looking.

Not a true macro but it filled the frame. Some of you are old enough to remember what it is. Many of you aren't.

And it's that time of the year again. I'd rather shoot these than flowers any day. The yard has turned into a gang turf war between the resident Anna's and three of these Male Rufous Hummingbird Hooligan.

Have a ducky week. I'm sorting shots from last weekend in Central Oregon.

I hope I haven't taken my last pictures of the hummingbird babies...They have grown so fast in the last day or two. There are stilltwo. Mama now gives us buzz jobs! She isn't happy at the picture taking! So not the best quality...Taken with the Sony F707. It is just easier with it!.
The babies just look at us and say...Does this nest make us look fat??

Every morning that I go out to see them, I am afraid that they will be gone. I have really enjoyed them...
ClassyShot..you asked what kind they were?? I don't know, They are kinda bland with a little green on their back but not much....What kind are they?   Enjoy!

Not for people who dislike nature photography....

Hummingbird Migration

We had so many hummingbirds migrate through here last fall that we had three feeders up, and had to refill them all at least twice, sometimes three times a day!  Sometimes we would have 100 birds at a time, no kidding!  My husband would stand with his finger on the feeder, and they got where they would land on his finger to drink! They got so used to us, that they would buzz all around my head while I was filling feeders.  We would sit on the deck, even with the dogs, and they were just fearless how they were all over us. It was just the most amazing thing I have ever experienced!  They came through in September, and were here for about a month.  I can't wait to see if they stop back by our watering hole this spring on their way back north! (Yes number 5 is blurry, but I liked it anyway!)

Hi,

My name's Bandit. Im the brother of the red headed guy in the avatar. I may be younger but I managed to take a feeder all for myself.


Bandit is the second male to show up for the winter. We are now at four here in the yard. Two male and two female.

Same old thing.

Been working too hard and not playing enough other than the kids in the back yard.


My winter population is now up to three with the arrival of another female. When she calms down a little I'll get some shots of her. The new female and "Miss November" are really having it out at the feeder. They get loud enough I can hear them in the house with the windows closed.

I bring the feeders in at night and get them back out well before daylight so they don't freeze and break.


Anyway.. the male (as of yet unnamed)is just eating when he can and  keeping an eye out for those two loud mouthed females. I'm sure he will catch up to at least one of them (grin).

I was sanding down and repainting my kitchen cupboards. I thought I would be done in a day or two. What was I thinking. Anyway, I got myself into a DESCRIPTION_HERE huge mess. I went outside with the camera for a break and captured this little one with the spider's web around her beak. That's my lottery win in life. It's not number one in quality but it sure is a keeper.

If I did this pop up properly...then I've finally "arrived"!!

We had a great time at the lake.

Mike did some fishing

The drive was scenic.sign

We also spent some time on the porch.  We added a hummingbird feeder and watched them fight over the food.  They are very territorial.  Finally they got tired and started to share.

I'm ready for my next four day weekend!
