Hummingbirds in our garden

wow they are very happy next to the window. its good that you feed them.
lovely blog.

Thanks for the information and brief history lesson - brilliant survival tactics. I get the occasional hummingbird visit depending on what's in bloom. I know they love coral honeysuckle with the clusters of red trumpets full of nectar.

I'm pleasantly surprised that Anna's live year-round in British Columbia, Klahanie, because they live year-round here in Phoenix, Arizona, too!
When do they breed there? Here, the males have been doing their singing and swooping all of last week, and will probably continue for another couple of months.

I'd never get any work done on the computer if I had these little lovelies to look at!
I saw a TV programme about them not so long ago and was fascinated by the information and the slo-mo photography. Breathtaking! Lucky you! I'll swap you my woodpigeons, Klahanie.

Thank you Klahanie we learn new facts every day ,nature is wonderful ..the photos are lovely ..

Lovely to see so many Klahanie ... what are you feeding them on? We saw a few in the garden when we were in Sooke on your island ... such a treat 🙂.

Wonderful -and I didn't know there are several different ones. I'd never imagined you could see them in quantity. No wonder you get through a lot of sugar...

They only visit me in summer when their favorite honeysuckles are in bloom. I tried hanging a nectar bottle but its quickly infested with ants.

Yorkslass, there are over 300 species of humming bird in the New World, but only a small minority live in the U.S and Canada. Here in Phoenix, the Anna's and Ricoh's stay year round, while Rufous, Black chinned, and Broad Tailed hummers migrate through in the spring and fall, and we occasionally get a visit from a Rivoli's--one of the biggest and most spectacular! The Rivoli's rarely hang around long, since the foothills of the Chiricahua Mountains in southeastern Arizona are more to its liking. The Chiricahuas also host several other species

Super. They look as if they are 'sharing well' at your feeding station, social distancing?

"Two beak lengths apart" social distancing. :)

Thank you for sharing with us, Klahanie. Beautiful pics of such beautiful birds.

I'm so pleased our weather is terrible today, I've been playing catchup on here again and I had missed this blog Klahanie, think it came out whilst we were having internet problems...
Absolutely fascinating, loved the photo's, thankyou to you for sharing and also to Tug for adding so many interesting facts...
Added to my favs..
