Ruby-throated Hummingbirds Vol. 8

It is a good thing they are so tiny as they are very noisy for their size. Some of them make a race car sound as they speed around!

This little guy was seriously guarding this morning!

I tried to work in the garden that has the 4-5' tall dahlias in it. Boy do those hummers defend their favorite foods! I lasted 5 minutes or less. The bird did not appreciate my need to weed.:-)

Hummers are like butterflies, hard to catch. Bev

She turned for me.

it worked...last one!

Nice pics Bev & rose!

Been away for a few days, glad Rose was there to babysit the hummers , while I was gone. Great Bed and Breakfast at your place Rose. Your spoiling them.
Frank, I'm sure that nose got a lot of attention, any land on it? LOL
Dragonfly, nice metallic colors on yours.
This was taken the week before.
