They are awesome little birds, I have a feeder up
and they come to it regularly.
Sometimes they seem accompanied by some kind of wasp
which also come to the feeder.

Just bought my sister a feeder so she can see some too.
They just bring joy into your life.

These are Ruby throated, male and female, mostly female.

We have fed hummingbirds for years. We have more in the winter than in the summer which is kind of weird. They either don’t migrate or we are a stop on the migration route. Lol.
About 5 years ago I planted honeysuckles and this year added lantanas. Our yard is full of hummingbirds.

Pehaps a hawk moth?
