Ohhh Shadow just beautiful. I'm with the others, such fascinating little creatures aren't they? Just beautiful to watch too.
At my sister's house we have to dodge the little guys, they'll buzz right by our faces, sometimes I think they are intentionally having fun watching us duck and dodge them. I never knew how territorial they were until I really watched the males defend "their" feeders. They don't share them very well with others LOL. I've seen them get into tiny little sword fights with those beaks.
Tell DH of yours thanks for sharing all his patience with us!! Beautiful pics!
Izy...way cool shot of the bee too!
