I saw them a lot as a child at my grandparents house (they had hummingbird feeders). But I've rarely seen them as an adult. I was RIGHT beside him taking pics. Then all of a sudden he flew away at lightning speed. Scared the crap out of me!
What a beautiful bird! We have several that visit the honeysuckle in our backyard. Hopefully he was just momentarily dazed and will visit more carefully next time. :)
So happy she was O.K. I love the hummers. Kristina Ruth: If you put out feeders, they may come. Even in my suburbia they arrived 2nd summer of having the feed out!
poor thing! we have a lot here along with some really strange birds, making around my house sound like a jungle. I'm really glad your little fellow was ok
Sarah, Zelma, terri and Amber... It truly was a beautiful bird. I couldn't get over the colors! Th pics don't so it justice. It didn't hit the window very hard. Had I not been sitting RIGHT there I probably wouldn't have noticed. Just a little stunned an then moved on.
Wow those are some awesome photos. I swear we don't have humming birds up here, but I guess I've never really worked. Thank god he lived.
