Hi Everyone...it is time for a new RTH thread. Here is a link to the previous one http://davesgarden.com/community/forums/t/880060/#new .
The Hummers in our area arrived late this year but they are made up for the late start in provided hours of entertainment for us!
This Juvie male likes to perch on the chain link fence!
Here is an adult male defending "his" plant!
Another Juvie male enjoying the Lantana!
Rose, you've captured his "don't mess with me" look so well. Real intimidating.
Quoted:
Do you all really think the hummers are starting to migrate??
Adult males move south first, earlier than females and juveniles.

Now that you mention it, Resin, we don't have many males. Thanks for bringing that to my attention!

Type [ quote ] at the start of the bit to be quoted, and [ /quote ] at the end, except leave out the spaces inside the square brackets.

Pelle - You said, "Yes the banders down south are reporting this." How south are we talking about where these banders are?
I can't believe they are already heading south again. Sheesh! It seems like they just got up north.
Its just the start of it. La. and Alabama.
Beautiful start Rose. Thank You!

Awww ... how cute!!!! :-)
Wonderful start Rose, Cute one on guard duty.
Nanny he's sticking his tongue out at you. What did you do? Nice shot.
Was surprise to see the hummer in the Asclepia. I guess they'll go to anything they can get their little beak in.
here another shot of it.
Heading to the Monarda. Your right Pelle, they really love the Monarda. A popular plant.
haha… that first asclepia picture is like Where's Waldo.
Where's Hummie?
lol. I knew someone would wonder where Waldo was!!!
Burn..you really had me going...I thought I was missing something!! LOL!

Thats all for now.
Handsome guy, Pelle!!
I just re-hung my feeders. Everyone send HB Karma my way!!
Pretty shots and a handsome Hummer Pelle!
Here's one for you Marna!!
The pictures of these darling little birds remain an ongoing delight to the hummingbird deprived. Thanks.
Hahahaaa..Rose!
Only hummer shot I got today!
Yayyyyy. Rose Karma.
Here is one guy who doesn't want company.
May I join you?
Beat it!
I said, BEAT IT !!
Now, where was I?
What great shots y'all are getting.
Dave - What detailed shots you got of the two hummers! I wish I had that problem here. I usually only see one at a time. I've never seen 2 or more at my feeders.
Question: Since it's been less than a year since my first hummer showed up, will more find my yard or will it be the same birds year after year?

Thanks, Resin. I will wait and see what the future holds for these adorable birds! :-)
Cute Rose! Love all your little guys everyone.
They do like monarda, Burn, and phlox, and perennial verbena.
My bad shot I got yesterday.
Here are some I took the other day of a Juvie male.
