There are two that are vying for territorial rights to this feeder. They just can’t seem to figure out that there’s plenty to share. I figure it must taste sweeter if you’ve chased someone else away to get at it! We’ve had a lot of rain the past few days, and this hummingbird stopped by for a between-the-showers treat:
And sometimes they are so pressed for time, they don’t even perch. It reminds me of the drive-thru window at McDonalds…grab and run.
I never get tired of watching them, and they have been frequent visitors…a lovely little 10- or 15-second break in the day, every 20 minutes or so if we’re lucky.

We don’t have many of them but I love watching the few we have!
They are very entertaining. We had a little guy that would land on a top (bare) branch on the peach tree outside my bedroom window, it always brought a smile to see him there. The branch is gone since the tree was pruned back, and now I only occasionally see one sipping at the yellow hibiscus….
