I am so amazed that we are up to vol. 14! But sadly this may be the last one for 2008. Please join in and share your photos of your flying jewels. If yours are gone, share some of your favorite pics that you got this summer.
This shot has to be one of my favorites for this year. This little guy chatters at me every morning when I put the front feeder out. I am sure gonna miss them when they're gone
In case you need it, we came from here http://davesgarden.com/community/forums/t/902143/

did you see that....
I always feel so sorry for them....but they continued their chasing routine through tthe entire storm!
Awww Nanny, that first one is so great it makes me sad that they will be gone. And they just got here for me.
Very nice nanny and pretty cute too! Mine constantly continue the chase routine too though I've actually seen a few times when they sat side by side But it didn't last very long till they were back at the chasing! So commical and fun to watch, Will sure miss them when they go!
Very nice start and pics nanny!

Male Anna's?? Has like a brownish throat..
nanny_I just love that first pic of the youngster. I think they are so cute with just a few red feathers. Here is a shot today of the juvenile that guards one of my feeders.
Beautiful pics Iris
Frank,cute little red spot. very nice.
Love the expression on your birds Nanny.
Pelle you always manage to get the shine wonderful.
Going back, way back when, I had some in my yard.
Iris your #2 pic is so nice. It really shows how amazing the size of a hummer is, it looks like one of the hosta leaves could eat her up. lol
They have just been arriving en masse in Houston! Yippee!! I would see maybe 1 every once and a while before, but now there are several out there all day every day. I have a huge feeder, and this one little guy will not let any other hummer come near it! He sits in the tea tree and guards it fiercely. I can't understand why he thinks he needs that whole thing to himself!! I'm used to seeing feeders shared with dozens of hummers (usually all the same type though).
What fun they are. I can sit outside right next to the feeder and they don't seem at all phased by my presence. If I get to close, they just fly up to me, talk some trash, and fly to the tree. I hope they stay a while!
Close up
Little red feathers
Going for the hibiscus

pouting in the tree because I was too close to the feeder
Little eyes
Standing guard in the tree
I just love their tiny feet
Pretty green back
Last one
RN, love that "pouting" photo, it really DOES look a bit like a sulk.
Frank, I love those little red spots too. I've yet to photograph one or see with my eye.
BUT, I put out a new feeder in front of the kitchen window so we'll see. This is a feeder in the front yard I put out because I felt so sorry for the little one getting run off by the guard.
Marna he'll never be able to see the feeder, even I can't see it!!! :))
Rn wow shots.

Burn, are you sure you can't see the feeder? It's a big one.
Actually I did have a taker earlier today while I was doing the dishes. It was funny because it was looking in the window at me before perching. funny.
I loved it when they did that. When the feeder were empty,they stayed in the window for a little while, as if saying " hey lady where's our food". Very entertaining.
My gosh look at all the great pics here!! We may squeeze out one more thread at this rate!!
Another one from saturday during the rain storm...sharing!
Look at those wings - how neat! I never noticed how long they are. Kind of like a swallow.
No birdie, but here's the feeder. Look you can't even tell how dirty the window is!
Thanks all, And what Great pics everyones posting!!
I got a couple more to add that I didn't put on here earlier..
#2..
