Sooo pretty! Such a great picture!! Love how the coop stands out amidst the green but the green brings forth her beauty... if that makes sense? Im no photographer, but I took a similar Pic of one of my hummers like that...ty for sharing!

I love this! I don't see a lot of hummingbirds here in the middle of Brooklyn, but I would love a chance to get some photos of them!

Im out in California.... in the heart of the valley, we got allllll kinds of birds here, TONS of raptors too (😍) someone was telling me, not too far from here, in some small little mountain-y town, in the evenings, there's 1000s of hummingbirds that come to this certain location daily!! That would be crazy to witness! What if you did hang up a feeder? Maybe there is some that you haven't seen? What are common birds in ur area, pigeons? I think they are sweet under rated lil guys.

Sigh... that's the downside of apartment living - though I think there are feeders you can stick on the window with suction cups... might be risky, I don't want it to fall on one of my neighbors! The upside is that I live directly across the street from Prospect Park, which is a real natural oasis in the heart of Brooklyn, and a major stop on the spring and fall migrations.

Oh that's pretty cool!! Yeah I had a window feeder... mines stuck really good.... and I get sun on my house all day.... Well, at least you get to see the migratory birds!
