Hi Everyone...time to start another volumn of the RT Hummingbirds and hopefully it will fill up in no time. Here is a link to the previous thread http://davesgarden.com/community/forums/t/961390/ .
I have some window shots but haven't been able to get many shots outside yet. I hope the wind dies down today and I can venture out (wearing my red foam cowbow hat of course)! LOL!
Here is one of the males.
Another male.
And the one and only female.
JEALOUS!!!
gorgeous! You'll be up to 40 in no time!
Gorgeous, Rose. So's your last shot on the last thread. And they're window shots? You'd never know it. You have clean windows.
Thanks Margaret and Marna!! Margaret, the males were taken through a window and the female was a long shot outside!
I haven't seen any this morning but I am hopeful I will have company again today. Here is a male showing some personality!
I should'nt waste my time trying to get pics.....mine sure can't compete with yours, Rose. I did see a hummer again this morning, but only for a second.
what time are they showing up?
Ahhh... love the tongue shot!!
Great pics...waiting to get some.......
Great pics Rose!
Thanks for starting the new thread!
Question - Where is the best place to hang the hummingbird feeder? Is it okay to hang it by my other bird feeders?
I like to hang mine away from the others. There is too much traffic at my regular feeders.
A fighting pair of males this AM.
Nice Dell!
Terrible pic, but after yelling he's here he's here many times I took the photo! Yay hummer time is here again!!!
Awww, congrats. we are a funny lot, aren't we!
Congrats GM...that is a terrific pic!
Guess you're next Pelle!!
YAY GM!!!! No pics yet here... he saw 2 & I have seen one and it was female.
I bought one of those hanging pots with purple and white flowers and green leaves and the male Hummer likes it Mikey!! Too bad the wings got lost in the shadow!!
Way to go Nanny!!
Here's another showing how transparent the wings are!
Here are more shots I took late yesterday when they seem the most active. They are increasing in numbers and last night just before dark I could count at least 14...I am hoping they are the regulars.
Here is a female coming in for a landing...not too sharp but I liked her little feet!!
The female that was already at the feeder wanted to do battle with her!
Here is a male I caught in flight...I am practicing on that!
Last one for now.
The tongue shot is too cool. They are so much fun to watch, we have only had a few straglers so far. I am hoping for a few more.
Rose...I hitnk you have the inflight shot down...Those are great!
Rose's hummer pics are always fabulous!
Thanks ya'll...they are so fearless and hungry!!
And the girls just wanna have fun!!
They did settle down for a second.
Well I see you're picking up with where you left off last fall!
Good gracious, dell, if you have four at the feeder at once now, how many do you think you have in total around the yard this month?
(Even at our high peak here, we seldom get four at one feeder at once!)
Looks like you will really go through the cane sugar this summer!
Earlier I think she said she counted 14!!!
dell must have an absolute bird haven there with all the HBs, BBs, and Orioles around!
I bet she is right in a migration path~~I wonder?
Mrs. Ed...LOL!
Tab...Pelle is right...I counted 14 the other night...that is when the most show up and put on their show!
Here is a female from the other evening.
Edited to say...yes I believe we are on a migration path as we do get many species through our state. It drives me nuts to read our ListServe and read about all the birds that are out there that I have yet to see. And of course I drive DH nuts watching through the windows constantly!! LOL...I know you all do the same thing!!

Hey Rose, just curious about what time in the early evening they start showing up. I can't recall.
Hey Marna...it seems like they show up about six or six-thirty and the madness continues past dark! I will be sure and watch the clock tonight to be sure.
Same here. nice one Rose!
Well I was thinking it was 6-7ish.
I'll be on hummer watch tonight then. They should be here by now! They are two days late. LOL!
They were late for me too Marna.
