My entry to the #POBPhotocontest, run by @friendlymoose is the hummingbird. Check Here for details on the contest.
The subject for the contest is "IN THE AIR,”
I enjoy seeing the hummingbirds, at the two feeders on my deck, throughout the summer.
The delicate looking little hummingbirds migrate to PEI, Canada when the weather warms up. I see them returning here in the month of May, after their long journey from Central America.
The hummers move so fast it’s difficult to photograph a clear image of them. The little creatures remind me of miniature angels.
The male, with the ruby colored throat, is more colorful than the female.
Here is the male, hovering in the air, getting some nectar from the Hosta flowers.
The pretty little female, with green colouring, drinking the sugared water from the feeder.
The ratio to fill the feeder is 1 part plain white sugar to 4 parts boiled water. The boiled water melts the sugar and purifies the water. Then it is left to cool before filling feeder.
I’ve taken these photos at various times.
By Sept 10th of this year, the hummingbirds had left my feeders to travel across the wide expanse of the Gulf of Mexico to enjoy the warm weather in South America.
I hope these wonderful little birds have a safe successful flight and return again next year to my yard.
they look lovely , and hard to capture on camera
Thanks. I’m pleased you n think they are lovely. 😊
Hummingbird is the smallest bird in the world. Photographing a bird in distress is a matter of luck. Expensive picture without a doubt. thank you
Thanks for stopping by. They were lucky shots. 😊
Gorgeous little birds, always on the move, we can only sit waiting in the hope of photographing them when lured to a feeder.
Till next summer, little nomads know when to leave to warmer climate.

Thanks Joan @joanstewart and for the tip. Much appreciate your support. Without the feeder it would be almost impossible to photograph the little creatures. 😊
Even with a feeder the little ones zip in and out super quickly.

I wished we also had these lovely little birds around - I would love to have a feeder on the balcony and watch / photograph them 😀
Lovely post, dear Jo, good luck in the contest 😊🤞

They are fun to watch Hannes. They will often chase each other. I wonder why they are not in your country.
Thanks for reblog and everything dear Hannes, 😊
Temps have really cooled down this week with wind and a sprinkling of rain.
Have a wonderful Frigg’s Day. ☀️
Hi Jo,
we don't have humming-birds here in Europe, don't know why.
It's raining since yesterday but I don't mind because I'm working a 24-hour shift till Sunday morning, and the tomorrow should be nice again, says the weatherman 🌞 It has become pretty cold though, but it's Autumn and the trees are slowly changing colour already 😃
Wishing you a wonderful weekend, dear Jo 🤗
