Some simple steps and adjustments in your garden will make it more hummingbird friendly and you will be rewarded with their arrival year after year alongwith their young ones.

I can't wait for the Hummingbirds to come back, so I can watch them again from my kitchen window. They are such beautiful creatures! My love for hummingbirds came from my Grandmother who came from England and who absolutely adored Hummingbirds! She watched them daily when they were here, and until the day she died. She refused to go into a nursing home for two very strong reasons, one was her lovely garden and the other was her Hummingbirds. She loved her garden, and when she got too old to care for it anymore, she could still see the beauty of what she had ... Read Full Story

I love to feed hummingbirds and it has been a real struggle here in Florida to do so. They come around when they are migrating, but they usually head further north for the summer. I have been here 4 summers now and finally got 1 hummer last year that would visit my feeder daily. I had tons of them in Georgia. Couldn’t keep the feeder full. Hummers are such beautiful creatures and to watch them fly and feed it just a miracle. I can sit close to them and it doesn’t bother them at all. I’ve taken incredible videos of them when we lived ... Read Full Story

They're very territorial little buggers. If you happen to cross a hummingbird and it's irritated that you're invading its "turf", it may get in your face for a second. I've had it happen a couple of times. It's amusing to see such a small animal posture the way they did. #hummingbirdhelmet Kaiser-Machead

Over the past week an unusual hummingbird has been seen in a Staten Island backyard. You might remember my postings about one of these "selasphorus" hummingbirds on Long Island in late-2006. I'm not sure if this week's bird has been conclusively identified because there are two species that are very similar - the Allen's Hummingbird and the Rufous Hummingbird.Separating these two species can be difficult because it involves, among other field...

The ruby-throated hummingbirds in my yard are in a frenzied state, jealously guarding my three feeders and the flowers nearby. They even squeak in a scolding fashion at the hand that feeds them when I walk into the garden.
