When we were still living inthe apartment we had some of our Orchids outside along this little thingy they called a balcony ... more like a walkway, but anyhow ... in one of the hanging baskets on my Anselia there was this little fellow come to visit.

We have many that come around and as far as I have been able to tell there are at least four different species of Hummers that live in this area. Just thought some of you might get a kick out of seeing them.

Sorry that the pics came out so huge ... you'd think that after all these years and the amount of pics and graphics that I have I would have learned by now ... ***Sigh** lol

Amazing shots!! Wow, you must have a sweet camera!! I love humming birds, I get the same couple year after year. They even come inside the house when I leave the screen door open, I dont think they mean to or like it cause they head for thr windows and freak out,lol but none the less I dig it!!!

Must be a female, males are usually way brighter. At least around here, Id imagine thats the norm for birds. That 2nd pi is really wonderfull!!!

Thanks for sharing!!
