As you've noted, they are great fun to watch.Dorothy Bordershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12441731296027227394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3560838335414244511.post-46420488396989206432015-08-19T07:53:45.015-05:002015-08-19T07:53:45.015-05:00I'm not a birder, but I do love watching the h...I'm not a birder, but I do love watching the hummingbirds! They're plentiful at my house this time of year, and it's so fun to watch them cavort and dance through the air. My best friend has four feeders in her tiny back yard, and we've seen at least a dozen at a time fight over them. I didn't know that some of the other types of hummers were moving eastward--I'll have to keep my eye out for them. They usually stick around central Illinois until some time in September. Wonderful photos, Dorothy!Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01384059342847120951noreply@blogger.com
