Hummers

We used to enjoy watching the hummingbirds at the nectar feeder in the other house - at this time of year they would be frequent visitors.

Here we have found it difficult to attract hummingbird visitors - until this evening.

Seeing a hummingbird check out our seed feeders, we thought we should put up the nectar feeder.

Within minutes first one then a second hummingbird came to drink from the feeder.

These are Ruby-throated hummingbirds - the first two photos are of the males and the second two are the females.

The 'hummers' have continued to visit the feeder regularly throughout the evening - hopefully they will continue to call.
