A rainy blustery day, and this hummie still manages to perch and hold on to our spider plant basket:

Funny, can't see its head, but look at that beak! Headed for nectar like a long hypodermic needle!

My neighborhood hummies had visitiors today. Ruby-Throats, maybe?
Thumb of 2012-04-04/LindaTX8/8e7f97

In the evening I had to bring the feeder in to rinse it out and fill it. When I came back, the male Black-chinned was waiting very impatiently...like how dare I remove HIS feeder? As I put it up he zoomed in close and showed me his purple gorget...ooh, so pretty...wish my head had a camera attached! He usually doesn't come near me. I wonder if he was just mad about the interlopers.
Another hummer.
