We have tried for two years to attract hummingbirds to our backyard. We get occasional visits but no repeats. After several months this summer, my wife finally took the feeder down, cleaned it out, and left it sitting on a table on our patio. Then I was looking out the window and saw a hummingbird to trying to use the feeder. It was persistent so we prepared some more nectar and hung it up.
And now they are coming back. In two days my trailcam picked up twenty-nine photos and videos of the tiny little birds. Don’t worry I’m not posting all twenty -today.
Just one photo and one video. But hey I’m happy!
I’m linking with Saturday’s Critters. Go check them out!!
Good for you! I wish my game camera was up for all the other animals. And my phlox is going to open any minute, so the elusive hummers that I see around will now be concentrated in one area.
That’s wonderful news. We don’t see hummingbirds in our yard much but I know they come to my neighbor’s flowers. They are picky! lol
Hello,
I am glad you finally saw the hummingbirds at your feeder.. I love the tiny cute birds. Great captures and video. Thank you for linking up and sharing your post. Take care, enjoy your day. Have a great new week ahead.
Aren’t hummingbirds amazing
Coffee is on and stay safe
That’s a bird I’ve never seen in person, we don’t have them here but it’s cool you get them there
Uy los colibris siempre me animan. Te mando un beso.
Must be such a joy to have them visit for the nectar. I would have loved to see the other images too.
Happy week, Alan.
Well done! You must be so happy. It must be so joyful to see them finally!

That is so funny! Silly little birds living on their own time schedule . Sure glad you happened to catch the first one in real time and all the rest on your cool cam! Great pictures, good story!
Maybe I should hang a feeder so my cam has something to take a pic of.
