THE HUMMINGBIRD MIGRATION-SEPTEMBER 6D

Hi Everybody!!
If you are interested in seeing the hummingbirds, there are many places open to the public where Birders can view many birds gathering as they do here. You can turn to Google for places in the State you want to visit. In Texas, you can check with Texas Parks and Wildlife. Do not expect these birds will interact with you as they are more likely to ignore you and go about their business of eating. I do have a few birds that fly up to me head high and hover in front of me looking straight in my eyes! If I hold a feeder in my hands, they will come up. Fortunately, the birds have mostly good experiences with  loving humans and seem less afraid than years ago. If you really get into birding, you could just move to Texas and have your own backyard birds. (We have plenty of room down here!) Enjoy!

MORE HONEYBEES ARE COMING IN!! THE HUMMINGBIRD MIGRATION-SEPTEMBER 6C

Hi Everybody!!
By now you have noticed the honeybees coming to feed with the hummingbirds. I want to point out that if you are considering feeding the hummers (in the migration zone), there is a strong possibility you could have bees also. If you are allergic to bees, do not consider hanging feeders. For this reason, I do not open to the public because too many people are scared of bees. Most backyard birders hang one or two feeders and may have no bee problems. When the hummingbirds leave my place, the bees go with them. If you are from Europe, Japan, China, Australia and vacationing in Texas for Birdwatching, just be aware of the bees. Now, I like the bees and they do not sting me, in fact, they crawl all over me while I am shooting the birds! Enjoy!

FLYING JEWELS: THE HUMMINGBIRD MIGRATION-SEPTEMBER 6B

Hi Everybody!!
The little flying jewels are zipping through the air on this fine morning of September 6B. They seem to feed off each other's excitement. At first light, they began coming out of the trees to the feeders. There is always more activity in the mornings and late evenings with a lull in the afternoon while they rest. In the heat of the afternoon, I turn on the bird shower and watch as they fly into the water to cool off. They also love the impact sprinklers in the garden. I am sure the hummers think of this place as a Hummingbird Resort and Water Park! Enjoy!
