Good reminder for me to get my hummer feeder out. They usually show up around may 1st. I love them too!

ME TOO! Gotta get my hummingbird feeder up, too. I've never seen other birds drink from mine, however. How neat!

The bright black and yellow is a male Oriel and the dull colored one is the female.

Beautiful birds! I notice your feeder has a perch...maybe that's why it attracts other birds too?

Beautiful pictures. I've always wanted a hummingbird feeder.
Maybe this is my year! I'll set them up when I get settled in
at the state park later this month.

Last year I filled a birdbath and it wasn't level so some water always dripped out. I thought I had caught a Hummingbird and injured it in the first downpour, but then saw it was having a shower! Never thought of them having a bath. Don't mean to hijack the thread, just wanted to let you know that Beth and I are in a Forest Service Campground...no fee. There is a full rushing river right beside us. it sounds wonderful, and we are the onlky people here. At 9000ft I'm not surprised! Doing this on my generator, will catch up with you soon.

God Bless those darling creatures.. I loved the Ruby Throated .. he's flash his throat when I was out near the feeder and buzz and do you know they chirp LOL

Awesome! Hummers are just one of the neatest birds out there in mho (my humble opinion)! Thanks for sharing.

What a NEAT video, Barb! I have loads of those Ruby-throated hummingbirds every summer, but have NEVER seen one that close up before! That guy got a prize-winning video!
(P.S.----good to hear from you!)

I had not heard a hummer make a sound before but did last summer at my son's in CA. There were two that were quite chatty. lol They fill 3 feeders every day!
Thanks for sharing the video, it was awesome!
