It is hummer migrating season! They are appearing in large numbers in South Texas. I have seen several in my yard and several at my school. This photo was taken several years ago when I had about a dozen at one time! I believe the Rockport Hummer/Bird Festival is next weekend. For more info, just google it. I went several years ago and loved it. I'd link to my post about watching hummer banding, but I don't know how! I have much to learn about blogging! Ya'll Come Back! Lorilee
Hi Lorilee, I'm starting to see them come in nubers too, maybe three or four at a time. They seem to chase one another though. I think the males do the chasing. We have the ruby throated hummers here. The males are green with a red throat, and the females are brownish speckles. They will be leaving us soon for the Carribean and Mexico. I'll miss seeing them. Have a great day! Hugs, Loretta
We are seeing them here too. They do fight up a storm!
I am passing on a meme given to me by the Seed Scatterer. She says for you to post on your blog, 7 things about yourself that we don't know. Then pass it along to 7 other blogs, that we would enjoy visiting. And don't forget to link it back to me.
I have seen so many neat blogs because of this meme!
I teach 4 year olds during the school year. In my spare time(haha), I enjoy clogging, gardening, sewing, cake decorating, and old things! I am married to my high school sweetheart. We have two sons, ages 27 and 17!
We have 2 dogs (Honey and Lexi), a rabbit (Chewey),three cat (Samson, Rascal and Bella) and 7 chickens. The hens are Blossom, Buffy, Scarlet, and Matilda. I had on roo, Gottlieb. Then I let Buffy sit on some eggs and I ended up with 2 more roosters. My coop is called Cackleberry Cottage.
Thanks for stopping by! I hope you enjoy your visit. I enjoy sharing all the wonderful "little things" that make life so special! Say hello and leave a comment!

How neat! I've only seen one humming bird in my life and that was over 20 years ago - in my back yard.
ReplyDeleteThe most hummingbirds I've ever seen together is two. That's awesome to have 4 flying around.
