Aw, you still have hummers around? Ours have all headed south for the winter!
Probably not now; this photo was from early September.
Charlee: “Bird.”
Chaplin: “Bug.”
Charlee: “No, bird.”
Chaplin: “No … bug.”
Charlee: “It’s a bird.”
Chaplin: “It’s a bug.”
Lulu: “What difference does it make? Either way, you two are going to stare at it.”
Charlee: “It’s the principle of the thing.”
You gotta watch out for those bug birds!
I was wearing a brightly colored and flowered shirt one day, and the hummers kept coming around me…buzzing away when they realized I was not what they really were after, LOL!
Great ‘capture’!
Ooh, you’re lucky to have escaped in tact. They’re always so crabbish! 😆
Darling little pile of feathers. We never see them here because of Tyebe now. Shoko really is a passivist.
That little dude is from my brother’s house and his Manx cat goes on hummer patrol all the time. One of these days…
Now that is something to chirp about. Happy halftime o’ the week, Monika

No fair. I couldn’t enjoy that because I have a curved beak.
Thank you for joining the Wordless Wednesday Blog Hop.
Have a fabulous Wordless Wednesday. Scritches to the pups and another smooch to Norman. ♥
Always grateful to be part of a fun blog hop. Thanks for hosting!
Ours are distinctly territorial….aerial warfare awaits any who trespass…
It’s that way here too. Crankiest critters I’ve ever seen!
They are SOOOOO much fun to watch. They visit the red flowers I always have on my front porch every summer – on purpose so as to attract hummers. I love to watch them zipping around – sometimes they will “hover” about two feet away from my face and I like to think they’re saying “HI LADY THANKS FOR THE FLOWERS!”
Hugs, Pam
They just might be, though I’ve never found a grateful hummingbird. They always seem so testy in the mountains.
Wetook in our humiming-bird feeders a few days ago. It’s time for them to migrate to warmer regions. For a few days before we took the feeders in, there seemed to be no more hummers around anyway.
They seem to instinctively know when to move on.
what is it about a hummingbird? I love them and how fast they are and how tiny they are
Tiny but cranky for such a little thing. But ever so fascinating to watch.
We keep a couple of feeders like yours up all year and have a small group of hummers who do not migrate South in winter. They are such amazing and pretty birds with bad tempers and snotty personalities. We’ve named the bossiest one “Dictator” and he lives up to his moniker. Fight, fight, fight and I think they’d rather starve than share a feeder.
Your description (bad tempers and snotty personalities) completely and accurately describes hummers. I don’t think I’ve ever seen as territorial bird as a hummingbird. Sharing is definitely not in their wheelhouse.
We have four large ones still up and have dozens of humming birds. We love our birds.
Have a fabulous Wordless Wednesday, my friend. Scritches to the pups and a smooch to Norman. ♥
I could watch them for hours! Happy mid-week.
sweet… ;O)
Thanks, but for the record they’re only sweet so long as you stay back. Dive bombing has occurred on those occasions when I neglected to keep the proper distance. Hummers can be quite aggressive.
Wow, had no idea they are like that. Hmm, maybe the chihuahas of the bird world.
🤣That’s the perfect description for those tiny delicate looking birds! They can be extremely fierce.
Wonderful capture!
I wish I had hummers in my neck…
Thank you. They are so fascinating to watch and quite the challenge to capture on a cell phone!
They are! Not to easy with a regular camera either 😉
Between the flitting around, they can be quite territorially aggressive.
So I’ve heard! My mother had so many when she lived up north. We were always on the other side of the screen, of course (no screen, no sit outside without being eaten alive).
