The Lucifer Crocosmia is in full bloom right now and the hummingbird activity in the backyard has been non-stop...
We definitely have some new little visitors in addition to our regulars.
A friend stopped over the other day and we both took our cameras out back to see what we could capture. Some of these videos were taken that day.
I also went out this evening to see if I could capture any more to share. The following are some short snippets of male and female ruby throat hummers visiting the lucifer crocosmia and honeysuckle. I wish I could make these movies larger without them getting 'fuzzy.'
One hummer was feeding when another arrived, and the chase was on!
After visiting the crocosmia, this little guy visited the fuchsias that hang from the tent over the patio where I was sitting.
I was on the swing set deck patio next to the honeysuckle when I watched this little female start at the honeysuckle and then zip on over to the crocosmia.
I hope you are all enjoying your summer.
It's been brutally hot here in New England. I'm filling my more popular bird baths two, and sometimes three times a day to keep up with everyone's drinking and bathing.
Hoping for a break in this high temp, high humidity weather soon!
