Lat week, the hummingbirds showed interest in some decorations I hung out on the patio. I found the hummingbird feeder and put some syrup in it a couple of days ago. Today, this cute little hummingbird found the feeder and gave me this photo op. Click on the image to enlarge.
Great shot!
I love watching the little hummers hover at the feeder. Too bad the ants and the bees made us take it down….. ;-(
Bees forget and ants, well hang it higher!
yeah, maybe I’ll try it again this weekend.
Excellent shot! I miss these guys! We have to settle with hummingbird moths…
Kini I dont know what a hummingbird moth is. But I’ll keep getting pictures of these guys. Thanks!
Damsel, Macroglossum stellatarum is also known as the Hummingbird moth.
Here’s a video of what they look like. We get them here. Next best thing.

Fat lil’ guy huh. Looks like a humming bird but not. Thanks for the vid Kini.
Since I was puttering around outside today, I took our feeder, filled it again, and hung it in a different location.
Hopefully the ants and bees will leave it alone this time!
Good they’ll appreciate it. We have our up high after it getting filled with ants. They will find it. We fill ours only about one inch, because it need cleaning every other day and they dont drink that much. We’ve seen 3 or more drinking we love it!
