Hummers

[Geezer]

I enjoy watching the little hummingbirds. They are wide open all of the time. Earlier, we had 3 of them dive bombing each other and then they would stop for a drink and go right back at it. At one time, 2 were on the feeder and 1 was on a flower.

Love watching hummingbirds. Aggressive little devils though.

And there I was expecting a completely different topic (and I don't mean vehicles) like this.

Those damned things lay eggs that turn into horned tomato worms and destroy my maters every year.

We have two pair of humming birds, some years three, that nest in the back yard.

We've had one for about a month. Usually have 3 or 4 hanging around as it gets warmer. The feeder is about 5 feet away from our chairs and it took him a few trips to get comfortable with us sitting outside. Fun to watch.

Hummingbirds are awesome. Had one in the garage yesterday... spent 30mins chasing it out.

They are magical imo

We had Trumpet Vines at the last place in California. The Hummers loved them, no need for a feeder. They look like this.

I put up a couple of feeders every year plus have a couple of Trumpet Vines growing along the back fence. I put the feeders up at the first of April (north Texas region) and take them down around end of September - helps encourage their continued migration down into Central America. Just noticed the first one yesterday, a Ruby Throated male.

They love the bottle brush shrubs also.
