Hummingbirds

When my mom came out last, she brought us a hummingbird feeder that hangs on our front window with a suction cup type thing.  We hung it up a couple months ago, but we hadn't seen any hummingbirds.  Until a few weeks ago.  Now it is part of our day to sit on the couch and watch for them to come drink from the feeder.  It is really neat to see those little birds up close and see their long beaks and their wings moving so fast.  Anyway, I have been trying and trying to get a picture of one, but when I sit there with the camera, they don't come, and when I get the camera when there is one there, they fly away.  But I finally got a picture of one.  YAY!


 This is just a cute picture of Emery I had to include.  Her shirt says "I love to smile and be happy."  That is really true. 

 Here is the hummingbird I got a picture of.  I think it is such a cool feeder because they come right up to the window so we get a great view.

 We were all sitting here waiting for the birds to come...

 And Zac decided to bite Emery's leg.  He got to spend the next two minutes in time out.

This is how the kids wait for the birds.  They hide because movement scares them away.  ha ha.

Thanks mom for the great hummingbird feeder! We love it!

Join the club. I spend oodles amounts of time watching the little flock I have at our feeders. Glad you have some birds that found your feeder. Just be sure to feed Zac enough so he doesn't try eating Emery anymore!
