Ruby-throated Hummingbirds Vol.10

Putnam County, IN(Zone 5b)

Wow! Can't believe we are on volume 10 already. I think alot of us are just hitting our peak hummer piture taking! There should still be time for lots of great hummer pics to share!

I know it is not perfect...but I am so proud of this pic!!

We came from here http://davesgarden.com/community/forums/t/890613/#top

If it follows the same course as last year I still have about 2 months of hummer activity. I sure hope so!

nanny, you have every reason to be proud of your pics. Now, c'mon tell me what the spot of white under the eye is for.

Putnam County, IN(Zone 5b)

I have absolutley no idea what it is for. I a would guess that it's an aid for them in some sort of manner. Would have to ask whomever is in charge of designing nature!

Nanny good shot of hummers and thanks for starting this new thread.
Catching them in flight is not easy, they're so fast. Here's one from this afternoon.

pelle, the hummingbird festival is next weekend on the Maurice River. Too bad its Labor day weekend. Bad traffic.
Maybe I can persuade my brother to drive me? He is out here visiting this week! GM

I wish I could go but I'm sure I'll be working. I hope your brother will take you.
