My kind of hummer...
This little fellow visited our deck yesterday. I love the buzzing, frenetic...yet startling beauty of hummingbirds. Too bad a gas-guzzling piggy vehicle has stolen their nickname...

and I ran across this one
"Does the hummingbird think he himself invented his crimson throat?
He is wiser than that I think"

That's a great photo. I always try to catch birds in action, but am never quick enough.
Piggy vehicle! Hahahaha!

Thanks Ian - any compliment from you for a photo is welcome indeed. Hummingbirds have a huge range in North America I belive (western). We have at least 3 species at our feeder.
Small is beautiful...Hummingbirds are the smallest birds I learned long back in school but through your photo I saw them for the first time..thanks!
That's a gorgeous pic! I love hummingbirds. I have a ruby throated one on my license plate. What a spiritual uplift to go outside & find the little guy there. You have to live for moments like that.
