This summer we added a hummingbird feeder to our yard. Then the waiting game began.
It took about five days for them to find the feeder.
I read up on how to capture the best picture. You can see how the pros do it HERE. But since I am not a pro and don't want to take the time to create a set up like they described, you get our kitchen window version.
So my son and I have been taking turns trying to catch these little guys in action. We set out the camera near the window and this is what we have caught so far.
Male Ruby-throated Hummingbird |
Female Ruby-throated Hummingbird |
They weigh about the same as 2.5 paper clips. |
A resting humming bird can take up to 250 breathes per minute. |
My attempt to grab a picture with my phone. I love Instagram. |

Thanks for stopping by my backyard!
Have a blessed day!
