Caught this Anna's Hummingbird trying to get a drink. I have 6 dishes around the deck but it wanted the running water coming out of the tube. ( photo / image / picture from Kildale's Garden ) ( photo / image / picture from Kildale's Garden )
Gee that position looks rather uncomfortable to say the least. If you hadn't told us first that it was a hummingbird I'm not sure I'd have recognised it as one. What an intelligent little bird to think of getting a drink that way.
I have a few hummers around and it is fun to watch them. Will you be sending in a picture for our Earth Day?
yeah that first pic looks like you caught it by bonking it on the head Cool pics, I've never seen them drink from anything but a feeder before.
I'll have a look through my photographs Kildale and see what I can come up with for you. Is there anything in particular that would would like shots of?
A hummingbird with a one track mind. It would be interesting if the bird showed up againto take another drink the same way. Jerry
Leave it to you to catch a shot like that, well done. I've heard that they like to drink water that is gently flowing over rocks. I could never figure out how to replicate that type of situation in my backyard, but you've got it pegged.
Haha, he really goes to a lot of trouble for a drink. I want to see live hummingbirds. They don't live in Europe.
