Things A Hummingbird Likes To Do ------ (31)

Hi PhotoFriends,

I don�t know how to express what fun I am having with my Ruby-Throated Hummingbirds this summer 2017

I just love observing their adorable antics. They put on such a show for me.

My hummingbirds arrive when my red bee balm is blooming.
The bee balm brings them to me garden. I do not use feeders.
I have been photographing them for six weeks now.

And Yippee, they are still here

I went through my new captures and picked these out to type a cute story for you all.

Please put on your sun hat, garden clogs, sunglasses and enjoy my hummingbird story.

What a fun set of photos to look through. I think #24 is my favorite of the bunch, what a great pose. I haven't taken any Ruby-throated Hummingbird photos in a while but your post definitely has me excited for fall migration when I expect to see a ton of them passing through. Great work!
