August Hummingbirds
Some clips I shot today and yesterday with my Fuji S5000 camera of predominately female and immature Ruby Throated Hummingbirds. My website has more
extensive photos, info, and links to other sites.

I love hummingbirds so much. We have a feeder too.. but most of them have migrated =(
One day we looked out to see that the feeder was empty. A female sat there by the feeder and waited until I brought it back out. No sooner had I turned my back, she was on the feeder. =)
i have 2 of those feeders the hummers love them. i dont add red color and they still find it.
they are so cute, i have three hummingbird feeders outside of my house:D
Thirsty little critters, mighty quick too!
The flowers are pestemon, salvia, or crocosmia. I have dozens of hummingbird friendly plants and flowers. The ones they love the best are, crocosmia,lantana, fushia,(hardies and annuals) also trumpet flower, foxglove, hosta,(which will flower), honeysuckle, empress tree, chilean firecracker tree, grevellia, and orange peel cestrum. If you go to the local nurserys inquire about “lists”, then they will call you the following spring when they come in. Happy Hummingbird Sightings!
What kinfd of flower was that where a hummer was feeding from? Some kind hibiscus? I want to plant a few of them whatever they are.
Thanks.
I like watching humming birds at my feeders but how did you film it.
It’s sugar water 1 part sugar to four parts water. A drop of red food coloring makes the solution red, and is only used once to attract the birds to a new feeder. They are attracted to anything bright red in color.
Nice video!
You can find these exact feeders at Walmart for under $1.00.
They’re cute, but I like to have extra feeding stations just in case more company shows up.
Interesting feeder, I’ve never come across one like that. It would work well here because the rain wouldn’t get in and dilute the sugar water.
Wow! I love hummingbirds and penguins too! Cool!
Very good! I love hummingbirds!
Wow, you get that many hummingbirds in 2 days? we only get half that many a year ’round here! That’s Wisconsin for ya. But I absolutely am fascinated by those birds!
Awe, you did a great job. I just posted the very first one I ever did. I’ll have to learn how to paste them together like yours! Nice job
hummingbirds and penguins are my favorite animals!!
I’m in love with hummingbirds! What’s in the feeders?
You did a great job of filming these tiny wonders! Thanks for sharing your work. I love Hummingbirds! I have two feeders up and have three different females this year. There was a male who came early this spring but I’ve only seen him one time. It’s the females who are visiting the feeders several times a day. Thanks again b0dhran!
