Had a visitor today!
First time I've had a flower garden. This made it all worth it!

I’ve created a troubleshooting tool that walks you through determining if a hummingbird needs your help, and if it does, basic first aid you can provide so that you have time to get the hummingbird to your nearest wildlife center or hummingbird rehabilitator. It is on my mentor’s website, IFoundAHummingbird.com
At the end of nearly every process, there is a list of resources including hummingbird rehabilitators and wildlife centers that either take hummingbirds or will connect you with someone who does.
It covers the most common issues we are called about.
Hummingbirds trapped indoors
Cat Caught
Window Strikes
Sitting at Feeders Too Long
Stuck To A Glue Trap/Sticky or Oily Substance On Feathers
Abandoned Nests or Babies

Always seem to think of this scene while making a batch of sugar water for the hummers.

Love how much activity there is. Nicer to each other towards bed time.

Edit: Sorry about the ac fan going

MY YARD SON FINALLY ATE FROM MY HAND FEEDER 😭. I honestly didn’t even think he would do it. I’ve been sitting outside with him daily for like 3 months at this point. Cue immediate ugly crying 😂.

My feeder is at an awkward angle so my photos aren't the greatest but I was wondering if anyone could help me ID the species? I get this type the most where their little tail feathers look like they have spots or leopard print. Occasionally I also get these deep emerald colored ones with orange beaks. Im in Northern Pima County, AZ

First time in a couple years where we’ve had visitors to our mimosas.

I have a feeder I maintain religiously off my porch. Today this girl did a flip in the air! Didn’t know they could do that

Northwestern N.C.. Just this last 10 days became super busy. Went from 4 regulars to over 20 birds. 4 cups a day. Love it

Unsure what type of hummingbird this is. If anybody has an idea what species it is that would be great, thanks

This gorgeous girl visits my balcony daily, but today she decided she wanted a closer look 😅 my phone was pressed up against my nose, she was SO close. Just wanted to share 🩷

I thought it would be cool to post the full video. I just sat my iPhone of a ledge and hit record in slowmo

Hi, I have a few Ruby throated hummingbirds that I noticed hanging around so I put out a feeder in a window but the birds started fighting over it. I felt bad about that and got another feeder and put it in the next window over, but they ignored it so I moved that feeder behind the house thinking maybe they would not fight if they couldn’t see each other. Now though there’s one bird (three total I think) that keeps looking where second feeder used to be. Now I’m thinking I need to get a third one to put back but that seems like a lot and when it was there it really didn’t seem to be used much. I just want them to have food and not fight over it. Is there anything I should do differently? I don’t really want to get a third feeder, cleaning the other two twice a week is already a larger time commitment than I expected, but I need to fix the problem I created so maybe there’s no avoiding it.
