My husband and I drove to Rockport, Texas, to attend an an annual "Hummer Bird" Festival. It was a breathtaking experience, especially the garden tours, where some people had literally dozens of feeders swarming with hummingbirds, who stop by to fuel up on their annual fall migration. I only took about 500 photos! Here are three.

We have hummingbirds coming through the area I live north of Houston, but rarely do I see more than 2, maybe 3, at a time. They don't like to share. My husband and I decided to go today and buy a few more bottles to feed them!
