If you look closely you will see a blurred hummingbird in the top right.

I was trying for the drop and didn't notice the hummer until I viewed it on the monitor.

This young Ruby throated hummingbird seems to have a few fluffy feathers left.

We had 9 hummingbirds at our three back yard feeders at one time. There is another feeder in the front yard so there are probably more.

They carefully checked out each boat as it went by.

This oriole tends to feed at the hummingbird feeder.
The hummer feeds at the oriole feeder so I guess it is only fair.

Darwin at work. MY food source, back off!
We have been woodpecker central recently, lots of recently fledged woodpeckers coming in to feed.
We have had at least 6 hummingbirds swarming a feeder as well.

Hope you don't have to fight for your food on the weekend.

To my American friends, have a happy Fourth.
