I am continuing to fine tune my hummingbird garden and have planted some early blooming flowers. This is the second year I have had this pink bloomer in the garden. I can’t remember what it is called but the Hummingbirds are loving it. Some of my plants didn’t make it through the winter so this one with plentiful pink bells is providing the only flower nectar at this time. I have feeders out to help the birds, but I am not keen on photos of birds and unnatural feeders.
August is the best month with the multitude of the Rufous variety that migrate through here. At this time and into mid-summer I have to work harder and wait longer to get photos of the locals, Anna’s and Black-chinned hummers.
Hummingbirds use spider webs along with other material to build their nests. This is the first time I have caught them gathering the sticky web stuff.

Great shots!
As you day, it is good to have natural pictures of humming birds. Yours are very enjoyable.
Thank you. π
Lovely! κ¨
Thank you! π
How spectacular to get photos of hums gathering spider web! Brilliant! The first year we were at our place in Oregon, we could observe a nest from our back deck. It was such a treat to see the progress from eggs to (finally) flying young.
Here at our new place we have lots of attractive flowers, yet I still fill our feeder every day. The migrants have arrived, including the rufous, and now with the locals engage in their spectacular aerial battles and, of course, times of truce, in which all five feeding ports are occupied peacefully. I will, after all, fill the thing whenever it gets low. π
My cat is highly appreciative, as this is one of his primary sources of entertainment currently.
Thank you. I have never been lucky enough to find a nest. My backyard is lush and complicated so there may be one but I doubt I will ever find one. Love those battles! There flights look like jet fighters.
The nests are incredibly difficult to see, so well disguised! We were just plain lucky.
Amazing.
this bird is so amazing and beautiful
They are special. π
