For about 2 months now, I've seen TWO hummers. Her and another one and of course they are fighting over the feeder. Well, I finally got some brains and moved one of the 2 feeders to the front yard. So now I am seeing this other RTH. I am positive that this is NOT the same bird as the female in the backyard. This bird always sits while eating and doesn't freak to see me looking at it through the front window. (The female usually eats in flight, but I managed to get a rare photo of her sitting in the above photo! I think she was guarding the feeder, more than eating! lol) I finally managed to get a photo of this other RTH today. It looks like it has a five o'clock shadow, so I am thinking it might be a juvie male. Can anyone confirm my suspicions from this blurry photo? Sorry, but my camera is a cheapie one. |
