Nature rules!

[HTTP404]

I'm a bit of a nature nut. I have multiple hummingbird feeders around my house. I have so many photos and videos of the visitors. I don't really get out the phone to grab hummingbird videos anymore. But today while out grilling some steaks I saw this Hummingbird moth going to town on our jasmine plant. The plant is in full bloom and it smells great. Probably drawing in these guys for miles.

We have a nest under our eves she just finished waiting for her to lay eggs. I'll get a picture in the daylight.

More of the typical action around the http404 feeders.

As a kid when we traveled to the mainland humming bird always was a fascination for me. Now your photos….Wow, the colors. Don’t think that I have ever seen that before. Thanks for posting.

Not sure why, but ours are way to territorial to let that many feed, they chase each other off like crazy.

Most times there is one who locks down the feeder or feeders. But sometimes there are so many that they can’t hold it down all the time.

Crappy night cell pics.
And the jasmine is right near the back door, so everytime we go out we get seriously buzzed.

My Mom had hummingbird feeders out for decades. Thanks for reviving that memory, it makes my current sorrows a little brighter.

Those things get brutal towards one another.
Seen and heard them thump into one another.
One time they thumped so hard one of them hit the ground. Bad news for him. They had created such a scene my dogs were watching the scuffle, when that one hit the ground....

Slightly better nest pic.
If she ever lays eggs I'll post.
I wish we had more birds, but its impressive to watch them joust.

To me it seems like they have a "time out" period, usually around dusk. They all get a belly full just before hunkering down for the night.

Dusk is rush hour.

I'm a nature nerd as well. We get a ton of wildlife at our house. I have an embarrasing amount of videos of our visitors, but I love it.

I always look forward to the arrival of spring and the cardinals. The males' singing to attract a mate, the air to air battles between them, and their beautiful plumage is a signal the dreary days of winter are being chased away.

That owl looks like he was up drinking all night

It was hot as hell when I grabbed that shot. He had just taken a dip in my neighbors fountain

Cracks me up when they imitate a bullfrog croaking. They're my favorite bird.

Funny/sad fact. They need to eat before they hunker down or they will pass out and possibly die if not feed while roosting. Too fast of a metabolism to keep them nurtured through a night.

I took this slow-mo video from a house we rent in Ouray Co

Nice flock of Rufus and Allen's hummingbirds. I rarely see those here.
