Hummingbird 2021

I may have posted this before, but our feeder was just outside the back patio doors. We could stand with our nose against the glass if we didn't move (apologies for the poor quality pic). This was probably back in the '90s.

No sightings yet. Feeders been up about 2 weeks

I noticed a new feeder that my wife bought setting on the kitchen table. Haven't seen any hummers yet.

Better watch those little buggers...

...they may be able to use their beaks to "pick" the locks on your house.

We've had 'em do that too, back when Sweetie was able to do the feeders. It's amazing how they remember exactly where that feeder should be.

I've also had 'em buzz an orange chain hoist when my shop was open. They're definitely NOT color blind.

I have had them buzz my head when feeders have run dry, as if, "When are you going to refill them"? For having such small brains, they are amazing.

Any chance you were wearing a colorful cap?

No colorful hat! I have seen them go up to tail lights on the pickup and also go up to an orange 22 plastic spinning target; almost anything close to a shade of red. Best thing about them, is watching their aerial dogfights with each other.

Finally had one check the feeder at the new house! Pretty excited, the food was old but it’s fresh now.

Not a great picture. Taken through window with cell phone. We now have at least 4 hummers feeding at our two feeders. Yesterday two were already fighting over one of the feeders.
