yes, i call him mine, along with all of the other birds that gather at my bird feeders :)
when i put up this feeder last year i was sad to find out that hummingbirds are territorial...mainly because the bird that found it first was a female. don't get me wrong, i fully enjoyed her visits, but i REALLY wanted a male to come, simply because they are SO pretty!
you can imagine my excitement when i finally re-filled the feeder this season and saw that a male had found it first!!! I was able to get a couple decent pictures, even though the i hadn't cleaned the window yet. It's actually pretty funny that the females will come right up to the feeder even when we are sitting and talking next to it, but won't sit down. this guy will immediately sit, but as soon as he sees us move, even inside, flies off as though scared. anyway, i've enjoyed his visits and will miss them when we move. pretty little guy!
Wow, that is so pretty and neat! Sunday at church pastor Rick was talking about how in creation God worked for six days and then rested on the seventh, and how He wants us to follow in what He did by having a day of rest from work. He was saying how we don't need to worry about not being provided for because of that because God provides even for the birds of the air and He loves us so much more even than them. Your hummingbird reminded me of that. We need not worry. God will take care of us.
ReplyDeleteWow cool! That IS a pretty hummingbird. With that bright, shiny, head color he's like BAM! HERE'S MY HEAD! LOOK AT MY SPARKLY HEAD! Hahaha...
