Watch Ruby-Throat: Leaps & Lands on Perch (15)

Hi PhotoFriends,

Yesterday was an awesome hummingbird day. It’s like the hummers are going out like a lion Today it rained but my Rubies are still here as I saw him feed on his flowers!

My hummers that arrived beginning of the summer got nice and chubby and had pretty rubies coming in on their throats when they left. My second set of hummers are still very tiny. I am worried about their journey any day now. I hope they are strong enough for that many mile trip non-stop.

As you scroll to Pix 8 there is a big surprise .........

Here is today’s Ruby story:

Hello Friends
I learned how to wave!
I know I am so adorable!

I have a long journey coming up and I have to gain some weight so let’s go nectar sipping!

I am going to sip on my two favorite flowers this summer:
Salvia ‘Black and Blue’
Lobelia ‘Cardinal Flower’

This is so delicious and I have enjoyed this nectar from when I arrived till when I am about to leave! I can always count on this flower to be in bloom, it rocks!

Now let me dive into my second favorite flower.
The Cardinal Flower arrived later into the summer so I am making sure I get my fill of it!

I have to sip every last drop to get my energy up! Now I am stuffed
Now for me to fly to my favorite perch!

I got a surprise for you all and Mrs. Gardener!

Are you ready for a special show

Yippee yells Mrs. Gardener and my Photofriends as I "touch down and land" my little feet to my perch!
I feel like I am at a football game

I knew I wouldn’t fall and Mrs. Gardener is so tickled she could capture me landing to show you what a good little flyer I am

I am on top of the world and love showing off to Mrs. Gardener. If I only had a camera to take her picture to show you all her utter excitement as she smiles photographing every step I take! I always hear her saying, “follow his eye!”

I am sending you all a big kiss for putting up with reading my new story!
I know you must be so tired of seeing me each week. I thank you all from the bottom of my little heart for reading my story!

So let’s all say Hip Hip Horary and add a Yippee for Mrs. Gardener
She is so very proud of me

She also adores me if you didn’t already realize this
It has been another fantastic day in my big flower garden and also even more wonderful that you all took the time to see me leap on my perch!

As I head to my nest to , all of you dear friends have a wonderful week!
I will be posting another story soon

Superb results BB. #6 is my fave image. The bird has really buried its beak into that flower. The kiss shot (lots of tongue) is also an eye grabber. Well done!

Another great set BB. All of the perched shots are super, and of the IF shots, 5 and 6 stand out. 13 is of special note... ~ Ron

Nice set of hummers once again BB. The cardinal flower is very unique. The BGD's look like muslins, especially #1,2 and the last. I just noticed they are all of the same perch and cool brown toned BGD.
