Hummers are fascinating
Elaine's question about leaving feeders up late made me go looking for more about hummingbirds. Instead of writing a report, look at this. Just fascinating. I may never know why a dozen arrived at my feeder at the same time, and behaved courtesly to a fellow in distress. I do know now that all the flowers and feeders are just fuel to go after bugs. Yea, hummers, eat those mosquitoes.
What a blessing!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteEnjoyable article - thanks for the link.
ReplyDeleteI suppose the bird which kept feeding and feeding may have had a strong "urge to put on a lot of weight" so, according to the article, was probably very young. Goodness knows. You were treated to a special sight, that much is clear.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the article, it was an interesting read.
Fascinating and beautiful. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteinteresting. I didn't know that they were carnivores. I thought their beaks were developed for sipping nectar. hard to imagine how one can suck up a mosquito.
ReplyDeleteI didn't know they were migratory birds. Actually when I read the title I didn't know the post was about birds. I was thinking those stupid over sized vehicles.
ReplyDeleteTotally not what I thought when I read the title. I immediately pictures one of those embarrassingly large and obnoxious vehicles . . .
ReplyDeleteSo glad I was wrong!
