We had ZERO hummingbirds in the spring. Very disappointing. Donald Ray Burger keeps a log of Houston hummingbird sightings going back to 1993 and when I read that he had his first fall sighting on August 5th I decided to put the feeders out. Today we spotted two hummers. One male and one female, both Ruby-Throated. It was late in the afternoon, but I setup the tripod real quick anyway and caught my first photo.
Hopefully I’ll get some more shots before we head out on vacation. Even better, maybe they’ll still be here when we get back!
First Hummer Of The Season
Saw my first hummer yesterday (9/2), a make ruby working my firebushes which, thank the goddess survived last winter. I didnt see em last spring either but my yard was a no necter zone at the time.
