Any Hummingbird Watchers Out There?

I don't put much out, only about a cup so I wait until they drink it up unless it is a hot summer sticky couple of days that breed mold..

guess who was waiting for me this morning

I never tire of hummer photos!

Lovely!

I did a doubletake going out to mailbox today. Four hovering bodies over wildflowers. They were moths of some kind but almost hummer size. Not afraid of me at all. I didn't think moths came out much during the day (about 2 pm).

I need to fill feeders. Hummer has been buzzing one on front porch. There are plenty of wildflowers and fruit trees blooming so I don't really feel compelled yet. Somewhere I have a tiny single feeder I bought at Lowes a while back. What kind did you buy Lisa? Mine are under the porch eaves so bigger birds don't get in there.

I've seen giant moths on an old nicotiana plant that has since died but only after dark. I thought most moths rested during the day; that's what surprised me. They also had a nasty attitude; drove off a sweet tiny butterfly from the weeds they were feeding on. And yes I'm sure that's what they were having since googled images of Texas critters. Ole' eyes want to deceive me - I've been spending wayyyy too much time watching Phoebe. I saw the biggest moth beautiful black and white on the water co office several years ago.

Dang... having trouble getting pics to post... hummingbird moth!

awww so cute, thank you

As I write, a hummingbird is getting his fill at our feeder.  A hooded oriole just tried it.
