Lurking Hummingbirds

[yourlibrarian]

I nabbed a few photos this summer of the hummingbird camping out in our plants to fend off any intruders from our feeder.



I like the way it looks like she's peeking at me from over the feeder rim.



Though this photo is a bit fuzzy, I liked that it captured the open beak and splayed tail.



In this pic you can see that the wings go back so far that it sometimes looks like the hummingbird only has one.

Well done catching her in flight! I love that photo with her tail fanned out.

Yes ...

This year, my hummingbirds decided they wanted something ... different. They ignored the red-trumpet hummingbird plants I offered. Instead they obsessed over a bush with flat white flowers and later I saw one down amidst the zinnias and sedum. Go figure.
