2009 Ruby-throated Hummingbirds Vol. 4

The Ozarks, MO(Zone 5b)

Hi everyone...time for a new thread and here is a link to the Vol. 3 http://davesgarden.com/community/forums/t/993299/ . A month ago we had about 45-50 Hummers and for the past few days we have only had about 8 or 9. A storm came through the other night and I'm wondering if some of them had fled the scene..also the heat and humidity has been extreme. I am sure they will return....fingers crossed...

Here is a little female..

Burd, love you nest shots. How high up in the tree is it?

The Ozarks, MO(Zone 5b)

I love those nest shots Burd...you are so lucky to find one. I have searched and searched and have never found one.

We had a bit of a storm last night (that I slept through) and it is cooler this morning. Have seen lots of Hummers this morning...the windows are open and I can hear them...so cute!

I'm pretty sure this is a juvenile based on the 5 o'clock shadow...took this yesterday in the miserable heat.
