Foraging and Feeding

Though I try, I'm not the best at bird identification. So I use this website to help.
I do believe that this is a Blue Heron. Near the wetlands and around town are lots of these beautiful grey birds, along with solid white egrets. This one is looking for food. I love their patience.

Hummingbirds VIDEO - Pepper & newly hatched babies

Check out this video - baby hummingbirds!

It is official!! Pepper hatched two baby hummingbirds. I've named them - Peanut & Lucy. I do not have the best view inside the nest, however, I will photograph & film constantly. It looks as though they still do not have their feathers yet, nor their eyes open. Pepper has spent alot of time sitting on them. In this video, she is off catching bugs & eating nectar that she's already processed, then feeds them. Stay tuned for more!

Hello Buz!

Today I named this baby hummingbird - Buz! He is fuzzy and vocal. I will not have much time with him, as he will be off soon. Pepper has been punking him at the feeder, however, his mother is feeding him often. Everyone say hello to Buz.

Keep It Full

As I keep the hummingbird feeder full, my reward is this....hourly!

Can we please have some more Slinky?

I love to wake up in the morning and hear hummingbirds outside. This male (I assume), has a lot to say as he flies in the air and dives downward. Back and forth he goes. He wastes a lot of energy doing this and gets nourishment from the feeder.

Good, isn't it?

Not much left since the babies been flying around. Today I need to make up a batch and refill.

Calling mother

OMG - Bonnie & Clyde (my hummingbirds) are still around. There has been a strange high-pitch bird sound and it's the babies. They're out of the nest, yet still here! YES! They are in the trees near calling for mom. I see one and hear the other. Clyde drank out of the feeder today. I am so in heaven right now.

In this video, this is one of two baby hummingbirds that hatched & just left the nest recently. I call this one Clyde and he is making a high-pitched sound to call mother. She arrives and begins a feeding.
