Patience Rewarded

One can hear them coming by the noise of their wings and the chirping they do. Watching them flit about is so entertaining

Great shot- I'm not sure how much longer mine will be here. I love that buzzing sound as they come in for a sip.

You are so lucky to be able to see these miniature birds! They must need lots of sweetness to keep their wings flying so rapidly!

[Marilyn Wigen]

Fabulous! Love the bokeh which acts kind of like a soft background for the bright colors of the feeder and the nice details of the bird. I can never see hummingbirds without thinking of the time you caught one in your hands by the trumpet vine in our back yard. 😊

[Diana]
