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!

When we lived in the country along the river we had so many Hummingbird you couldn't weed the flower bed...just kept my busy filling up the feeder....does it you?

Those are great pictures! All of them.

Have you ever heard two male hummingbirds fight? A few weeks ago I was outside on my front deck, and one came and sat on my arbour a few feet away. Then a minute later, another came. The first one started flying around the second, and they both started "parrying" (sp?), and chattering away at each other. It was hysterical. :lol:

Wow, great shots! I have a couple of feeders hanging in the back yard. They sure guzzle down the sugar juice. When it's this hot I don't see many during the day. I have one hanging in the apple tree, and there are frequently ants that climb down the hanger into the little flower holes. I finally tried Vaseline, and it's has almost stopped the little crawlers.
