One of the cool things about our house (as weird as this house is) is that our yard happens to attract hummingbirds.

I actually saw my first hummingbird about a year ago when we were in Virginia. One paid us a brief visit to feed on some of the plants that were on our back deck.

However they come here quite a bit. On just our first night here we counted no less than three hummingbirds making the rounds in the yard at once… 8)

Ever since I got my new camera I’ve been itching to get a picture of a hummingbird flying around the yard, but until this evening they haven’t stuck around long enough for me to get my camera out in time to catch them…

This one was the first shot I got of him…

Quickly followed by this shot…

He took off after that shot, and I was a little disappointed that he didn’t come closer… However a few seconds later he came back, and I got these two shots :)
