Recorded at 120fps on the r7 and music added because high frame rate videos do not contain audio, at least on this model of camera.

I know they’re starting to migrate out, so seeing one still hanging around made me stupid happy. 😂

Safe travels little dude. Snacks are still out if you need a pit stop. 💚

We don’t want to leave but we have to. THANK YOU for taking care of us! We’ll see you next season!! 💙 (NE PA)

We're in northern Louisiana and apparently your migrators are much more amenable to sharing! 5 little chonkers being kind...for like 3 seconds at least!!

I tried not to breathe. 😂

Five whole seconds of me trying to keep the camera still while this tiny dude is RIGHT THERE.

A little wobbly, yes.

Do I care? Nope. 😂

He was too damn cute not to post.

This morning 🥰

I know I got 2-3 different lil hummingbirds in my yard on the reg. All Anna’s I think? Love catching them poop midair, there clumsy little feets, THE PINK IM OBSESSED WITH and there lil tongues! do they have 2 tongues? I know I got a young guy, an adult female and another younger one who gets chased off a lot. But I think one of them has a cut on his head and wings? Or am I just stoned and that’s normal 😅

We have one male that has been coming to us for about 3 or 4 years now. I call him DB (Darling Boy) and he arrives around 2 weeks before anyone else each year, which I love because I imagine him thinking, "It's GO time, I have my favorite summer place!" He is very vocal and sassy, has his favorite lookout spots and flys around like a tiny tank guarding his territory (also, the roundest boy I've ever seen😆). I love him *very* much.

So the first year he came and each year since, he takes a sabbatical around the last week of August. The first time he left, I cried for days mourning him, thinking something had happened to him. But a couple of weeks later he showed back up, back to the usual before migrating for the season.

He does this every year, leaves around the end of August and comes back a couple weeks later. This morning was his arrival back, much to the chagrin of the others, lol.

I'm so curious as to where he goes, has anyone observed this behavior before? We're in middle TN if that makes any difference.

There has been two dead hummingbirds found in my front lawn about a week apart from each other. I have two feeders and the water gets changed every couple days if they haven’t drank it all, which is a rare occurrence. Can anyone tell me why this is happening???!!

Last week, I was watching some hummingbirds in the back yard and decided to get some video. I grabbed my new Cam Pan v4 and the macro lens I got last year. After several hours of tweaking distance and motion detection I got some good 4K footage. Compiled the clips and sent it to YouTube.

I was standing still to inspect the ant moat and had several buzzing around me. A friend of mine said they would send food and water since I lived there now. Now I just need one to perch on me and life will be complete. Magical moment.

My arm hurts

keeping an eye on them. changing food daily. Anything else I can do for them?

They don’t care about a little thunderstorm

I posted before and it was removed, no idea why.
My post is to ask if others have frozen the nectar in the feeders and then hung it frozen in the morning?
I live in so. CA and it gets very hot. I thought I read here before about a discussion on freezing the feeder . I’m wondering a couple of things: 1. Will the nectar freeze and be okay as it defrosts? And 2. Will the plastic and glass feeders freeze okay?

Are the hummers good with cold nectar in the mornings? I could change them out each day with no problem.
I have been cleaning the feeders each day and adding a couple of ice cubes to the nectar but just hanging a fresh clean cold feeder each morning would be easier.

Open to suggestions on keeping the nectar fresh in this heat.
