Hummingbirds and hurricane season...

Seemingly in the track of yet another hurricane,
Ike this time,
it doesn't bother the Hummingbirds a bit.


We have so many of them this year,
they empty their feeders in a hurry.


And boy do they move fast.
Almost impossible to catch an image of them.


I had to really work on getting these..


They are so cute and tiny,
yet they have a temper,
and fight for their premises.


Sometimes it seems like it's more important

to sit, watch, and make sure no one else gets a drink,

than actually drink yourself.


They fight and "yell" at each other,
it's very amusing to watch them.


Their beaks are about as long as half their body,
and very pointy too.


I would hate to be in their way
when they case each other!


Vi har massevis av Kolibrier i hagen for tiden.
De sjefer og sloss
for plassen sin ved matbordet,
og er fantastisk undeholdende.
Det er vanskelig å få tatt bilder av de,
da de beveger seg utrolig fort.
Når de går inn for landing,
henger de helt stille i luften.
Vingene beveger seg så fort
at en nesten ikke kan se dem.
