I have three feeders in my backyard. I wash and replenish them weekly. We have many hummingbirds here. I've given each of them names. 

Les, do you put collars and tags on them all so you can tell who is who!!!? I'm impressed! 😁 I can only identify one or two as unique enough to identify. 😀 

Your photography and subjects make your pictures enjoyable...  

LOL, no collars or tagging. Think about how tiny the collar would be. They are uniquely colorful and that's how I keep track. I named my favorite, "Scout". He's very agressive and tries to chase all the others away from the feeder. 

😍 

Such a brilliant color!!!  

Absolutely love Hummingbirds we don't get them here much. I did in Alaska I miss them. Thank you for posting. 

Pretty bird. I look forward to the “after” photo showing the alternate color scheme 😊 

Great pic 

AWESOME!!!!! My hummingbirds are so fast I can only make sure it wasn’t a bee, no way would they have names except maybe naming them all Aintabee.😁. Maybe instead of Scout, being that he is mean call him Diablo, oops that is taken, maybe Bouncer? 😄🤣 Thanks Melissa!🌺👍❤️ 

Pretty 😍 

Look at those colors 

Where are you? Today? Looks like a spring bud on the Rhod spring bud? Colors so beautiful. 

Thanks, everybody! Tom, 😂 if I get a picture in the sun someday, I'll have to share. Might be summer. 😁 I might have to come up with some names! I have named a couple big woodpeckers that visit! 😁 Judy, we are in Seattle area. I actually took this picture a couple weeks ago I think. Today we have about a foot of snow! 😁 I posted a hummer picture from today too. It wasn't very colorful, so I wanted to show this one too!  

I just grabbed one of those guys from out of my skylight this afternoon. such pretty colors. and yes, I have a pic of him in my hand. it's not great because I was on a ladder with a hummingbird in my hand, but he's still beautiful. 

Amazing hummer M 👍 

So beautiful! I've had a feeder out for weeks, but no birds.I haven't given up hope yet, maybe I'll attract some in the spring.
