Mrs. Hummer
I haven’t been this excited in ages….
This morning, I took the screen down in the kitchen window (it actually fits inside the casement window….so it is removed from inside the house) and washed it. It had a lot of dust and the “fluff” from dandelions and cottonwood trees on it. And, while I was at it, I washed the window so sparkling clean, one would hardly know there was glass in it!
After finishing the window, I grabbed a really fancy stool we bought Ben for Christmas and placed it near the counter in the kitchen. I then fixed myself as quietly and non-conspicuously as possible upon the stool…..
I have never been so pleased with any hummingbird photos I have taken! I can’t believe these came out so crystal-clear, through the window!
As I waited for a male to venture on by, I realized that the females are far less timid than the males. The males could see me in the house and would light on the other side of the feeder. I certainly will continue to try to capture a male, as they are stunning with their beautiful bright red “collar” which dictates the name of this species…Ruby-Throated Hummingbirds.

Great shots… can’t wait to see more.
Great shots! I especially like the third one. She seems to have an “are you for real?” look about her.
How fantastic to have such gorgeous wildlife so up-close-and-personal!
Hi Kellan! Nice to meet you. (although I am soooo late in responding!) You are such a busy lady…love your blog. It is so much fun!!!!
Thank you for the comments….I love these little hummers and always try to get a “better photo” of them!!!
Sometimes I wish I lived in the south (NO, I did NOT say that….the HEAT would kill me!!!!!!) just so I could see more varieties of hummers!!!
Great shots.
