I can't imagine life without all of the wonderful birds and their songs! I will try to follow your instructions and attempt to capture some hummers (sadly next summer, since they are in departure mode) on camera to enjoy looking at!<br />Thanks so much,<br />RozRoz | La Bella Vita Cucinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06213914189813413673noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-511932079074193335.post-58846404393046608872014-08-31T16:05:48.855-04:002014-08-31T16:05:48.855-04:00Larry, So now you've gone to the birds!

We also grew sunflowers and let the birds have at them. Wow, what a show.Chilebrownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02321501332367002893noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-511932079074193335.post-77918051346858610112014-08-30T09:40:52.177-04:002014-08-30T09:40:52.177-04:00Great shots, Larry!

A couple of years ago, we had a nest of baby Cardinals, and baby Blue Jays, both the same year. We have a lot of wren bird houses. We were told to have all the houses face East so the birds would occupy them. It's fascinating the way they decide which house to use, load up a nest in one, dismantle it to another house, for the momma's inspection and back to another one yet again. And the babies are noisy, noisy.

So I'm out there grilling two weeks ago and see the hummingbird hovering nearby. He goes over to the weeping cherry and alights on a branch, looking at me. I swear he was saying, "where the hell is my food, dude? I come here every year!" <br /><br />Got it up for them that afternoon. Always fun watching their aerial acrobatics as they battle for the territory. Last year it was a 2 against 1. A pair would trick the most territorial one (a red throated guy) by having one hummingbird come in to get "chased off" by Red Throat and as he was chasing, the other hummingbird would swoop in from the other side of the house and get a quick meal before Red Throat came back. We watched them do this time and time again, pretty cool strategy.Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14861482393432330011noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-511932079074193335.post-9866021372025605392014-08-30T01:47:41.399-04:002014-08-30T01:47:41.399-04:00Great hummingbird shots.Great hummingbird shots.The BooneDockshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17554856897561402620noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-511932079074193335.post-29045880239552945812014-08-29T20:01:34.323-04:002014-08-29T20:01:34.323-04:00I'm excited for you....

If you ever get a photo of a bird you don't recognize yet, just send it to me and I'll keep you informed...<br /><br />I have 3 hummer feeders --and have yet to get a good picture of them this summer... We always have more hummers here at the end of the season (like now) than we do in spring... Don't know why--but they don't come up here very early--or at least, they don't come to our feeders until mid-summer... And even then, we don't have too many up here.. BUT--the ones we get are Ruby Throated Hummingbirds and so pretty.... <br /><br />Good Luck.. I love your set-up.... Keep me posted. The photos you got are excellent.<br />Hugs,<br />BetsyBetsy Banks Adamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16223591156634767330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-511932079074193335.post-43248587880012387442014-08-29T16:09:45.528-04:002014-08-29T16:09:45.528-04:00Great shots Larry!
