I bought this fountain 3 years ago as people said hummingbirds found it attractive and would use it to bathe. Finches love it and use it often to drink and bathe in. I have only seen hummingbirds show rare interest in it and never when I had my camera. Finally I was sitting with my camera nearby when one drank from the bubbling top part of the fountain.


Great capture! Excellent strategy, I like the idea of a fountain better than a feeder.
Thanks! Me too about feeders. I have feeders but will only photograph the hummingbirds on flowers or the fountain. π
Lovely and well captured!
Thank you!
Beautiful photos! I’ve been admiring a hummingbird, sitting on a branch outside my office window for several minutes… just flew away.
Well worth the wait!
Thanks!
Amazing photos! We have so many hummers here, I really should get one of those. I have seen them fly in and out of the spray from the garden hose to bathe.
Thanks! It was pretty inexpensive, and I have been pleasantly surprised at how long it has lasted. Amazon, of course. π
Good to know! Thanks!
WOW! What a cool shot of them drinking. I got a ring with a giant red-colored plastic gem that you can fill with hummingbird food (or sugar water). I want to try to take pictures of them with it on, but I haven’t tried it out yet.
Thanks!
How beautiful your phone are! Always! πβοΈπΆπ
