After a couple weeks of no hummingbird feeder I finally got it cleaned and refilled and rehung. The storms had blown everything over, but it is up and ready for the little birds. It only took a few hours before one or two of our overwintering hummingbirds were at the feeder.
Sitting on the hook that holds the feeder - you can see a bit of the rain in the background and on the feathers.
This is the most color I've been able to capture in the winter - so shiny and bright on such a gloomy day.
Do you have overwintering hummingbirds?

Hello,
Love your beautiful hummer. Once in a while there will be a hummer in winter in Maryland. Not where I live, closer to the coast. Lovely series of photos.
Have a happy day!
In Ohio we never saw hummingbirds in the winter. So sad we do not have them here because we have many plants they would love. I have a window cafe that I bought in Oregon, and fill it with sunflower seeds. Sometimes there is a gap between the time the seeds run out and I get around to buying more, and I am always amazed how little time it takes for the customers to return. Mostly Great Tits ... Japanese cousins of the chickadee.
Great shots of the little hummers. We have a short season to enjoy - May to October at most, our winters are too harsh for them.
Isn't it too cold for them there? I'm surprised.
We bring out hummingbird feeder in during the winter and don't usually see any of them. But yours sure is appreciate...and beautiful! Happy day!
I think hummers would freeze in mid-air! (Almost no exaggeration) But yours are soooooo cute. Love seeing them.
Fabulous shots of these little cuties... We still have snow so it will be awhile before I can bring out the humming bird feeder...ENJOY your week...Hugs
