Last week the hummingbirds were at the phlox. Yesterday, the juveniles seemed to be checking out every flower possible. I'd never seen one at our Oriental Lilies before. I can't imagine there's much nectar there for them?
Lovely photograph of a beautiful hummingbird! Our feeders are especially busy right now with all the baby hummingbirds hungry for sugar water. Hummingbirds are such a delight!
Thanks, Julie! I imagine ours will be heading your way soon. Already there aren't as many males around. Keep meaning to ask you where you're from - I'm a Chicago girl, too! :-)
You've got the bird really focused, and the framing really works for me. I've seen these lilies in Florida.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the nice note, Maria. I was worried because I had to crop the top part of the flower so much...
