Ruby-throated Hummingbirds Vol.10

*whines* yaaaahh, but, I want them to land on my feeeeederrrrrr

Marna, Since its migration time use a 3-1 ratio. Be sure to take down the window feeder. :-)

really? So, 3 cups water, 1 cup sugar. crud. I did 4:1

ha. they aren't even using the feeder near the office window any more. i put that there so I could see them while work.

K, I'll go mix some stronger.

No stronger than that though. :-)

I haven't seen any adult males for several days. The guard hummer is now a female (at least I don't see any neck spots like on an immature male.)

Here she is on the feeder.

A hummer sharing with a hairstreak....

Cute beclu, funny they'll share with a butterfly and not it's own kind.
Seen a hummer trying to catch a fly yesterday. He almost had it. When he saw me, it distracted him and it got away. I don't remember if it was female or male.

These are still shots from Tuesday...so behind! Well I still have mature males and did last year until Oct.

Nice beclu!

Mrs. Ed...gee, I sure wish you have a feeder full of hummers.

Which is my best side??

6

great shots

Nanny, was that Ed???

Nope that's not Ed.

Nice shots Becky and nanny! I haven't had a female here for a long time. Well at least not at the feeders.

SO all you have are juvies pelle?

Yes :-)

It may just be that any females can't get near the feeder area because of the males fighting over it. They might be enjoying one of the trumpetvines.

This isn't real sharp but I like it anyway.

Another same conditions.

I'm going to start a new thread now. Thanks to everyone for the wonderful pics!

Heres the link to the next thread.
