I love to watch hummingbirds. It's always a thrill when I see the first one in the spring. I can't remember when I first saw one this year and got the feeder hung up, but they've been here at least a couple of weeks.
I just happened to be fairly closeby with a camera when I saw one visiting the honeysuckle nectar bar.
And here's a little closer shot...
It's one of my ambitions to someday get a really nice, sharp clear picture of a hummingbird.
But for now it's just nice to see them flitting about.

Beautiful shot! My hummers all seem to be female right now. Don’t know why.
Thanks. I keep hoping for a real close-up, nice sharp shot. Some day!
It was that way here last year with no boys, but now I wonder if I wasn’t seeing some immature males – ones that hadn’t developed the red throat yet.
