oh, that is such EXCELLENT news, pam! I got all excited reading your post. they really, really are amazing, aren't they? when they're gone, I forget just how tiny they are and how masterfully they fly.
I wonder if it was born on long island? imagine the power of the instinct required to compel a hatch-year bird to fly over open water.
I can't tell the gender, but I'd keep an eye open for a sibling! great shots on the B&B, thank you.

Yeehaw!!! Happy hummie days to you!!!

Great news Pam Jean and thanks for posting the beautiful picture!

Congratulations Pam Jean!! Great pictures! Enjoy!!

Whoo hooo!!! Congrats on capturing the moment! :-D I know it took me awhile before I was actually able to get my first pics of mine since she came and went so fast!

Congratulations!!

Thanks for posting this. You're giving me hope that I can do the same one day soon! Congratulations!

OMG, thanks for all the wonderful comments and congratulations=-). Standard, you echo my thoughts exactly...I was wondering too if it was born on L.I and marvel at just how tiny they are. To think that it will make such a long journey south is awe-inspiring!

Jenny, out of about 18 snaps most had no hummer at all, the rest had just a slight glimpse, and three were okay, LOL.

Today there were visits all day, mostly in the morning and then in the late afternoon on. I decided not to take pics, but just to enjoy watching. She also went to Salvia farinacea Victoria Blue and yellow Million Bells. My Monarda JC is finished blooming and looks awful. Some kind of insect is eating it, but it's new this year. Crocosmia is just beginning to bloom.

I'm so excited....just can't believe I've seen so much of this hummer for two consecutive days....this is a first.

Claire, good luck to you. I'm hoping you seen one soon!

Pam - it seems alot of people are now reporting alot of activity. It could be that they are now doing their big eating push in preparation for migration. Ironically, my little one's appearances have dropped off significantly. I'm thinking that maybe she has babies somewhere. I'm hoping that some migrators spot my little oasis. I'm considering getting some more red things out there as beacons so others will stop by and remember for next year.

Congrats! I know the feeling of waiting....waiting... ...waiting...waiting, and then BOOM- hummie heaven. I finally got mine (2 now!) after trying desperatly hard for them. He came by twice (that I saw) today- but I missed her.

Congrats on your Hummie - may you have many more. Thanks for posting the pics!

Jenny, I am loving this little hummer so much. Today is the 4th day it has been here...in and out of my yard all day long. I hope it stays for the rest of the season.

Dakster, when did your hummers arrive? Did you see both on the same day?

Thanks, catwhiskas (love that name!)
