Hi huggergirl. Yes, we have them pretty much all year. However, I'm not sure if they're the same ones, or if we get different migratory waves, at different times of the year. At any rate this morning I had chaos on the back deck this morning. It was a feeding frenzy swarm. Attached is a photo with nine of the little guys vying for four feed holes. My presence didn't bother them at all, and I routinely got buzzed at very close range. Often feeling their wing wash on the back of my neck while trying to get lucky with a shot.

Here's a shot with only five. Actually there were so many buzzing in and out, I couldn't really pick the shot, because there's such a time lag with the digital camera. Sometimes there would be ten of them when I pushed the button, but maybe only two a couple seconds later when the shot finally went. It was simply luck, patience, and non stop parade of hummers.

A last shot with a good view of the hummers. One has a red throat, and the others with green. Does anyone have any idea what kind these are?

Wow amazing hummingbird photos! I was just going to ask if they are ruby throat hummingbirds? Are they the ones that were at my house this summer?

Deep do you get anyother than ruby throats ??? I miss mine already = [

Hi growum, and huggergirl. This is the first time that I've really tried to take photos of them, so up until now, I haven't been able to see them close up, or in stop motion. All I've been able to make distinction about with the naked eye is size, and it seems to me that sometimes we get ones that are allot bigger than the others. So I'm guessing that these are a different genus. We probably get different types at different times of the year. But we have them pretty much all year round.

Here's a shot of the last hummer of the evening feeding during a nice sunset.

I have such a case of 'Spring fever'. So this weekend to sooth the anz for Spring gardening project. DH helped set up this fountain. I hope with the running water, this will attract more birds to enjoy this along with me. What you all think?

Thanks Pelle and Duc, birds aren't quick to discover a new water feature set up especially for them, so I set up the grain feeder nearby, thus far I've noticed a Tufted Titmouse showing some interest. And perhaps a Mockingbird, but so far the bugs in the garden kept them busy else where.
