Here's a recent pic of an Annas hummer cleaning and preening herself after driving away a male juvi who wanted some of her nectar.

Boy, was he ticked!

Hope it warms you some :)

Thanks wetbug. Even though I'm posting from a cold basement, that warms me up good.

Those are beautiful pictures. They even warmed me up a bit.

Love the pictures!

Thx,

If you've got broadband internet, you can check out some hummer videos at my website (see below). My special favorite is "Hummer in a Hurricane" which I videos during Hurricane Katrina. The little Ruby-Throats ate all during the storm and then they'd perch on the crape myrtle and just bounce around while the wind it was whipping! Quite amazing! (There are other bird videos here too, but you should be able to pick out the hummers by their titles).

Hope it helps cheer you up :-)
