Love haiku and excellent photo ~ carol, xo

I had a flurry of all sort of birds here just before a 'weather front' passed through ~ they were very hard to capture on camera ~ speedy!
I love those birds. Maybe it's the flying in place thing.

It's no wonder they are attracted to the beautiful colour of the feeder...

Hummers are fascinating. It is amazing how fast they beat their wings.

We've had a few fluttering around, but they don't seem to stay. I heard on TV tonight about someone having one at their place all the time and they named it "Jet." lol

That banner photo is wonderful! We have a lot of humming birds that visit our yard. They are very territorial!
