I think we created a monster. This was shot earlier today during a quick passing shower.

    What a great rhythm the humming birds got going on.

    That was an excellent clip!

    hahah! Watching it a 2nd time i notice the one bird (in the center) waiting so patiently, hovering, waiting, while the the two to either side plop down and just sit there, pigging out.

    I just think it is so funny that there is a little perch for them to sit on.

    Really nice! Hummingbirds are amazing to watch in flight.

    Thanks for all the feedback. I am trying to expand my subject matter to showcase more of the woods. Any suggestions?

    That's a lot of them at once. Usually they fight each other off.

    Do you have woodpeckers in the woods? I'd like to see them.
  • goldentouchfarm plus 2 years ago
    we do hear woodpeckers all the time but catching them in the act is a different story.

    My goal this week is to get some more shots of the Baltimore Orioles invading the feeders, as well as the alpacas at play.

    I'm going to add you as a contact so I don't miss it. I don't see to many orioles around these days. Used to see a lot when I was a kid.

    You're lucky to have these birds where you live. Great choice of music to watch them to.

    I miss seeing hummingbirds. There are few in central jersey than northern.

  • nshack 2 years ago
    I used to see them in CA, but Northern IL is hum-less. Thanks for showing us yours. That's a lot of them. When there are that many can you hear them buzz?
  • goldentouchfarm plus 2 years ago
    Yes the sound is very cool. I will look into good ways to MIC the feeder next time I record some feeding.

    Very nice. Good to see that many humming birds in one place. It looked like it might be a family or two of them.
  • goldentouchfarm plus 2 years ago
    They will always return to the last place they ate before migrating so as long as you have the feeders a few weeks earlier than you think, you will always catch them. I track them on hummingbird.net

    Wow! Like others have said, I've never seen that many hummingbirds at once. The most I've ever seen at once is two. Just amazing.

    So funny how they even have their own personalities. I'm especially fond of the fellow front left who just settles in to have a good long nosh.
  • goldentouchfarm plus 1 year ago
    Each year they return to the last place they fed, and we always make sure to track them online and know exactly when they arrive. They bring their young and our feeders get busier and busier.
