I decided to go out to the pond and see if I could get some pics of the black-chinned hummers that have shown up here. Instead of the soft chair that I normally sit in, I put my old frame on the pea rock about 10 feet from the small waterfalls that separates the two ponds. It was a good move because I liked the level of approach much better. The only problem was trying to get back up!

Even though she is a bit larger in size than the male, she met her match that morning.

Wow, nice set! Great job with the action shots! I hope she put up a fight; that's very ungentlemanly of him.

Good looking set. Hummers sure seem to like their water.

I love these! Fabulous shots of the hummers cooling themselves off...it looks like fun and I wonder if they think so too. You picked the perfect spot...now I hope you've managed to get out of the chair

I appreciated what you had to say. Thanks so much. By the way, during the course of the 6 months that the black chinned hummers hang around here, the females do just fine. They don't take a back seat to anyone.

Well, Eric, the good news is that I got my body back to the chair but it took some doing. I broke my leg duck hunting a few years ago, and since then had a replacement knee installed two years ago. Been an interesting ride!
This spot is perfect for hummers as every morning they are there taking baths. Glad you liked the shots.
