I looked up this morning and there were two flickers on the birdbath and feeders - they are here frequently, but not often long enough to get photos.
And hummingbirds visiting the fuchsias
Holding on to the flower with tiny feet. I had never noticed that before.
Oh, how exquisite your photos of the Hummingbird are! I must say your Fuchsias look like dainty ballerinas dancing to the song of the Hummingbird. I have never seen or heard of a Flicker bird before.
ReplyDeleteOh, my...I do love humming birds...and your photos should be sent to a magazine....they are so beautiful and so professional....
ReplyDeleteGreat photos of the flicker and hummingbirds, JoAnn. I took a photo this summer of a bee in a flower and noticed that it held on with its feet, too. So interesting what one can see after loading the photos onto a computer. Did it rain in your area today? It drizzled off and on here and it's been lovely.
ReplyDeleteI really miss hummingbirds here, every time I walk past some of the plants I know they would love. I think the west coast has more varieties than what we had in Ohio.
ReplyDeleteHello, the Flicker is a great visitor. The hummingbirds are my favorite. Your fuchias are lovely. Have a happy day and weekend!
ReplyDeleteYou caught some super action shots there!
ReplyDeleteI never get tired of looking at hummingbird photos - I am mesmerized by the slender little bodies, and the wings that are blurred from the speed. Thanks for sharing this terrific series with us - memo to me to get some fuchsia!
ReplyDeleteI do love the little hummers. We have them here quite often and with so many flowers around they tell me they are happy. Very pretty Fuchsia too. Bob loves the Flickers---they are so pretty

I'm finally back to blogging. I took a longer break than I planned & it was hard to get back in the saddle again! I love your hummingbird shots. I think I could watch them for hours if they stuck around long enough. And I hadn't realized that a flicker's head had so many colors. Lovely!
ReplyDeleteI can't believe summer's over but the rain's back and that's a sure sign. I'm glad you spent some of your vacation in our region and so happy we had a chance to meet! It was a real treat!
