Hummers in Senoia

My sister's hummers are back now in Senoia - happily eating at her feeder.

If they can do it in Ohio.....

surely one of us can do it!  Are you ready for the hummingbirds to get here?  If not, come in to the store and we will fix you right up!

Hummingbird Babies - Leaving the nest SOON!

These hummers are in Sunnyvale, CA. Babies hatched out on February 5 and may fledge today! WARNING! Don't start watching! It's addictive!

Guard Hummer

This hummingbird has claimed my feeder and sits and guards it most of the day. So if you want to dring any of my sugar water, you have to check with this bird first!

Speaking of Hummingbirds...

Since we have been getting all these great shots of hummers, I decided to get in on the act. Here is my chivalrous male guarding the feeder - ready to buzz away any intruders -while the little woman has a drink. I love hummingbirds! (Click pictures to see larger images.)

Hummingbird Nest

With all of our interest in hummingbirds, I am including a blog entry from a Newnan friend who was smart enough to get pictures of a hummingbird nest in April and then nice enough to let us use them. Thank you, SouthernJoy. (Remember to click on pictures to see larger images.) Here is her entry:

If I ever needed a zoom lens, it was today! My mother-in-law discovered a hummingbird nest in the fork of a dogwood branch. The nest is about 15 feet off of the ground, and extremely hard to spot. It appears that the nest is still under construction... lots of zooming back and forth with bits and pieces in the beak. I can't wait to keep watching, and see how this progresses.
I read up a little just to know what all was involved in this tiny nest. Smaller than a golfball, the nest is made using spider web silk! Imagine that! And, the outside is covered with small pieces of lichen. If what I read is correct, mama hummingbird will lay two tiny white eggs.
My grandmother, Sweet Pea, would've loved this. I can't help but think that she was there today, peeking over my shoulder as I climbed to the tip top of the ladder and took these pictures.

Lynda's Hummer

He's watching every move I make while getting a drink!

Gail's Hummingbird

Hummingbirds are drawn to the beautiful feeder in Gail's back yard. This hummingbird feeder and many others are available at the WBC.

Thank you, Gail, for sending us this great shot!

Doug's Oregon Hummingbird

Doug took this shot in Portland. It's an Anna's hummingbird. Beautiful, don't you think? And according to hummingbirds.net, we have Anna's right here in Georgia. Keep those hummingbird feeders sparkly clean, fresh, and full and you might see this bird in your own backyard!

Thank you again, Doug!

Doug's Senoia Hummingbird

Doug got this shot on a visit to Senoia. He lives in Washington, D.C.

This female ruby-throated hummingbird is coming in for a snack of sugar water. Great shot, Doug!

By the way, Doug travels quite a bit and maybe we can talk him into sending pictures of hummingbirds from other parts of the country and the world.
