Susan's Hummingbird Gardens

Posts Tagged ‘August’

Cindy and I have been on the road – Christina Lake is the undisputed Hummingbird capital of Canada. The worlds smallest birds flock to the feeders. There were dozens. The neighbor put out her feeders April 26 and in one months time had provided 65 feeders. They eat from daylight to dark and lots!!!

Here are more unedited shots of our hummingbirds from the foothills of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains of Northern New Mexico.

The bird was washed out of a nest by watershed. The rehabber is attempting to feed the baby before putting it back.

August Hummingbirds

Some clips I shot a few years ago with my Fuji S5000 camera of predominately female and immature Ruby Throated Hummingbirds. I never put red food coloring into the sugar solution anymore. The hummingbirds find the feeders just fine without it. Lately I’ve begun using an actinic (brown) glass hummingbird feeder. It is easier to clean. My website has more extensive photos, info, and links to other sites. home.centurytel.net
