    Sick Hummingbird? Or torpor?

    I know it sounds harsh but Buzzys are very susceptible to viral and bacterial issues and once they're infected there's not much we can do. I see this happen a few times a year with the 300+ that visit me and the only thing that I can do to ease the pain of watching them struggle is to understand...

    First hummer 30117 2019

    Punk Rock Hummingbird

    Thank you very much for the warm welcome! The only thing that curtails my love for my little buzzy friends is the gallon per day I have to make to refill my feeders. But my saving grace is that within a month or so they will all be heading down to Mexico for the fall/winter and I will get a...

    Punk Rock Hummingbird

    First time OP but I have a love for hummingbirds and have a charm of them numbering well over 100 in my mountain home. I wanted to share this picture because i thought it was hilarious, after a particularly heavy rain burst came through one of my hummingbirds arrived back to feed with his new...
