hummingbirds - August 22nd, 2006 at 08:14 AM
Well, I'm thrilled. My daughter (who was supposed to be eating lunch) kept pointing out the window and talking about a "little birdy flying fast". At first my husband and I thought she was just babbling (she's only 2) but when we looked we saw 2 hummingbirds flitting around the feeder! I was so excited! I grabbed the camera, started trying to take pics but the window was covered in so many little-girl fingerprints that I couldn't get the camera to focus on the birds--just the grime on the window. Now that I have hummers, when is the best time to see them? I saw them at noon today, but it had been raining all morning and the rain had just stopped. So I don't know if noon is their normal time or if they just didn't want to get wet! Btw, it was either a broad-billed or a black-chinned hummingbird duo that stopped by. Looked like, probably, a male and female. Woohoo!
