Hummer takes a bath

Check this out, not the best video but at least I got it :-)

I could'nt post it on my website and even here so I tried
Youtube and it worked... Enjoy

Comment on Youtube:

I surely was'nt expecting this one, cam was already in video
mode, I took the shot. Too bad, there was a dead leaf in front.

Think this one will be a male

Check the small red spot on the throat.

Hummer in my flowers at 6:45 am

This a picture I wanted to take but,
no luck... As I was going to work he
came in. Good thing I had my small
Canon SD850 in my hands...

At least I got this video

Go for it Baby

Had a pretty good day with my Hummer today.
I modified the feeders, yesterday night (after dark)
so that the darn wasps would'nt go in...
Feeders were leaking.

I know, I know... But until I see them no more,
I'll be posting their pics, so please bear with me...

Oh, BTW, this is all I had today, pouring rain and shit temp...

Thanks Kiddo

Last one like that was at the lake, got this one at home today,
not perfect but good enough for me...

I know, I know. I love Hummingbirds...
Spent 4 hours sitting on balcony today...

I was wrong on the previous post

As I got out the door, I saw this guy
on the clothes-line... And instead of
going away, he stayed long enough for
me to get somewhat close to him...

My 2010 Hummer Project

The aim was to get the hummer to sit or get
its feet on that darn golf club. It was'nt
that easy... Me and my crazy ideas... :-)

I had a ball...

Tried an experiment at the lake

Tried a small experiment the last day I was at the lake.
I took my small Hummer feeder and attached it to my hat
to see if they'd come anyway. I never thought
they'd come. I had to wait a huge 2 minutes before
they came. I was amazed, breathless, wordless...

Daughter took the video I had to rotate it 90 degrees.
But it still good. It's amazing to hear and see them
from so close.

Banding & marking Hummingbirds

I went to Jacques Turgeon in Stoke, Quebec
to see the Hummer banding for the second time
in 2 years.

Quite interesting to watch... Enjoy!
