Finally! After spotting this little guy drinking from my backyard feeder on multiple occasions, I decided to pull up a chair and see if I could snap a photo. I think I must have sat there for at least 20 minutes before he got the nerve to come back. It was extremely difficult to contain my excitement once he did! He definitely needs to keep drinking the sugar water to sustain his energy since another hummingbird keeps trying to scare him off. I don’t know how many times I saw them (one in pursuit of the other) fly by my kitchen window today. I have plenty of feeders so I don’t understand why they cannot just ‘live and let live’. Oh well, at least the ‘air show’ was entertaining!

Hmm, I like this little one! I’m not good at all taking photos of birds … it seems I can watch them for hours, but the moment I take the camera out, they’re gone (or just doing “fly-by’s”).
