Hummingbird Grooming

[yourlibrarian]

Yes, some more hummingbird pics. Do you wonder how this hummingbird achieves its bedhead look? Why with a rather long (for a hummingbird) grooming session!



This little lady perched on our tomato cage for 15 minutes (surely over an hour in hummingbird-time) digging with her beak, scratching, stretching and fluttering, and finally, yawning.



Sadly this is all backlit but nevertheless amusing.

Hah, yes, it's pretty quick, though also the angle of the camera and the lighting was not great. But at least it didn't fly away when it saw me.
