BFF

My new little buddy by the front door. He's even started singing while watching me out front. Maybe I'll become the Hummingbird Whisperer, or the neighborhood kook. Meh, it's worth it.

[Cathy]

Beautiful little buddy you have!

[❀ Lynn]

He is beautiful! What sort of a song do they have? I have only ever really heard the chitter sound.

[Allison Maltese]

What a sweet shot!

[Robert Velten]

@lynnb Here's a youtube vid with the basic song. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_pbnDq0Wc8E
I can sort of imitate a bit of it and that gets his attention, not as a rival or threat but an object of curiosity.

[❀ Lynn]

@robv is that sort of a "who's that poor bird with the sore throat" kind of curiosity? lol

[Robert Velten]

Yeah, kinda lame, big, slow, flightless bird. But I apparently make a mean batch of nectar.

[Brian Buccigrossi]

Beautiful capture,cool song :)

[❀ Lynn]

@robv thanks so much for that link....I has no idea they made so many different sounds!

[Linda]

[Peter de Graaff]

It is wonderful to have birds that share our and their environment near us

[Megan Richardson]

he's so lovely, I'd love to be a hummingbird whisperer, you could charge photographers to come in and he could pose for them
