I hate it when he does that....

I'll be moving to a new home soon and I'll leave this cast of characters behind. Hope you enjoyed them. The new place should be pretty good for birding too. Anybody wanna buy a house? I'll throw in a hundred or so Hummingbirds.

That is really cool with the foot (toes??) of the top hummer around the beak of the other. What a wonderful capture. Thanks for sharing all of your wonderful hummer interaction shots.

Another dazzling display, of both hummingbird behavior and photographer's timing Charlie. Hope you enjoy the new hacienda.

Very cool shot Charlie, love the way his little foot is wrapped around the beak. The rest is your usual excellence. Re the house, not interested in any real estate but are you taking offers on the hummers? :biggrin:
