One of my 'simple pleasures' is watching "my" hummingbirds. I first put out feeders three years ago and have been hooked ever since!!
For the longest time I've been meaning to get my camera out there and take some shots of these winged wonders and finally I took the time to just do it!!
I have two hummers that come very frequently and are best enemies!! They WILL NOT feed together they are constantly buzzing the other away from the feeder. They have provided us with lots of entertainment!
I was SUPER pleased to get these next two shots! Since they are best enemies I didn't think I would be able to get them both in the same frame!!! and relatively clear, too!
This little guy prevailed over all the fighting that day! He would hover over the feeder keeping the other two away or he would rest in the foilage below the feeder.
We also have other birdie friends that we enjoy watching on the feeders or in the bird bath. How about you? Do you have any fine feathered friends?

Such pretty little birds! I have a bird feeder hanging outside my kitchen window. I have a cardinal family, some tufted titmouse(mice?) and chickadees, as well as a few sparrows. I love my birds! :)
Love your pics! We just put a birdbath outside our dining room window, and the boys (and I!) were thrilled when we spotted our first visitor :) Not sure what kind he was, but he was splashing around and having a great ole time! We have oodles of sparrows and love to watch them, too. Just noticed a little hummer on my porch - I think I need to get me a feeder!
I miss my hummingbirds! I put out feeders in NC and we always had several that came around. We could walk right up to the tree and get within just a couple of feet of them and they'd still hang around. No luck with 'em in FL.
