For days, momma has been trying to get some pictures of the humming birds visiting the feeder that is right outside our French doors, but every time she snaps pictures of them, because of the wing movement, they are a little too blurry for posting, but today, she might have gotten lucky - what do you think?
At one time, there were five humming birds trying to get to the sweet nectar.
They kind of look like little bats in this photo - don't you agree?
Coming in for a landing....
Get away, this feeding port is MINE!
Look at that beak....
This must be a little boy because he is a nice green color...
For those of you who are wondering what is in the feeder, it is the Oriole solution, apparently the Humming birds really enjoy it. Momma found it at the tractor supply store in Gallup.
Dey look delishus. MOL!
ReplyDeleteControl yourself - BOL. These hummers come to the feeder all day long and get into fights among each other over the feeder. One of the hummers hoovers around while momma is outside by the feeder almost like it isn't afraid of her.
DeleteBOLBOLBOL!! Gud one, Twabis!!
DeleteVery cool pictures!
ReplyDeleteThanks Whitley, momma had to take a million shots just to get some that weren't all blurry due to the wing motion. These are some of the best.
DeleteWow! Motion stopped on camera!
ReplyDeleteGreat pics. Those wee birds are evfur so speedy and zoomie!
They are feisty things, too...do you hear/see them fight others off?
Yup, my kitties are smacking their lips, BOL!
Freckles, momma was snapping away like crazy. She was inside and the pictures were taken through the French doors so it was lucky that she didn't get too much glare along with blurry photos due to the wing motion.
DeleteOops, I forget to mention that they do get into aerial fights among each other and since they are coming all day long, there are lots of fighting going on.
DeleteOh! Great piccies!
ReplyDeleteAin't humminbirdie fun?
Yeah, it's a good thing we don't see em round my place. That PuffyCat would get em.
Zoe, momma says there are three different types of hummers enjoying the feeder but thus far, she has only managed to get photos of two types. The ones in this posting are called Black-chinned hummingbirds, not sure what the official name of the black and white hummer or the cream colored hummer are. Simba doesn't pay any attention to the hummers, he would much rather play with the mousies (his tally is now at 7).
DeleteDese r wunnerful pichurs, Puff! An' conCATumatayshuns tu Simba on hims pawsum mouse-huntin' skills!
ReplyDeleteZ-pup, Simba is getting a big head with all the phrase he has been getting. Momma even bought him a new tag that is in the shape of a mouse for his collar that says "I love mousies - #1 mouse catcher. LOL
ReplyDeleteCrikey .... great pictures. Wish we had hummingbirds here!! Way to go Simba .... well done on the mousie count, mate!! Your Momma bought him a mouse tag?????? Fair dinkum ..... that's one lucky pussy cat!!
ReplyDeleteCharlie, you have Wombats. We will trade 100 hummingbirds for one Wombat.
