Merrily Humming Along
This morning I finally managed to get in a little hummingbird photography. I have been way too busy lately. For some reason I don't have many hummers this summer. I think it might be that I got my extra feeders up too late. I have only noticed a few Anna's Hummingbirds hanging around when I usually have six or eight with some Rufous Hummingbirds thrown in for good measure.Today it was a bit of a wait and they were slow in coming to the feeder. I kept my ears tuned for the buzz of wings.Most of the time I just waited and waited and would spur into action when I heard wings. The one male Anna's came in several times and I wondered how he could even fly as he was moulting and didn't have too many flight feathers in his wings. I still had a great time and I am looking to doing some more.
God bless,
chris
