We finally have hummingbirds!! Besides being first of the year, they were in our yard!! I assume these are Ruby-throated. We had the male the two days before.

And they have wings! LOL Because my first pictures were taken on a cloudy evening, you couldn't see the wings.

The first picture, I was standing maybe 4-5 feet away giving myself warbler neck when I hear a low-pitched bzzzz. I thought it was a massive wasp at the feeder and I was ready to bolt. I hesitantly turn around and got a nice surprise.
This little miss had no fear of me at all. Was she fed by someone down south?

The second one was taken a little further away. I tried the setting that takes 8 pics in a second. This was my favorite of that set.
