The pair of Hooded Orioles have been absent for weeks but the resident Anna's hummingbird is still holding watch. I removed the nectar feeder to "force" the hummer to go for the Agastache plant blossoms. When the nectar feeder was removed the hummer was quite desperate and hovered around the hanging nylon thread and hook (which suspended the feeder) a couple of times. Finally it decided to find another nectar source in the Agastache.

Nicely done Dennis. Trying to find good light in our area at this time of the year is not easy. I eagerly await Fall to arrive. That said, I think you did a great job with these hummer pics!

Great set, love the natural feeders . Your title and images reminded me of my experience in Hurricane Ike. I had taken down my hummingbird feeders the night the storm hit and the next morning when it was light enough outside to see what was going on I saw several hummingbirds buzzing around in the still strong winds right where the feeder had been. Needless to say the feeders were back out immediately. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks Greg. Those critters are smart and have good memory, and are curiously fearless.
Thanks Mike.
Thanks Morris. But I can't find those peeps or skimmers you show
