Hummingbird Couple

[yourlibrarian]

We generally see hummingbirds fighting over the feeder at this time of year. We saw two of them swirling around it yesterday and to our surprise we later saw them perched in a nearby tree -- and it was a male and female. Might not be a couple but it seems pretty possible -- especially since we rarely see a male.

We don't see hummers here- the smallest native bird is the wren.

We also see goldcrests and firecrests which are even smaller, but not actually native.

Oh wow, I didn't realize there was anything smaller than the hummingbirds! They must be amazing.
