Nature First Hummingbird in yard!

First Hummingbird in yard! · **3 Likes**

This Spring I planted Monarda & Butterfly bushes, in hopes of attracting butterflies and even a hummingbird.

Well, today, a wonderful surprise; a hummer! Not sure what it is, thinking it may be a female Calliope. I was absolutely thrilled to not only see my first one in the yard, but be able to photograph it.

All photos were handheld.

We haven't had humming birds in years, but it is so exciting to see them in the yard!! These are great shots!

Thanks so much! I've also not seen any around here, before today! It was certainly a thrill to watch it!

That are some wonderful images Carol, your efforts paid of and I think you're right, female Calliope

Nice shots Carol. Now you know if you plant them they will come!

Heinrich, thank you! It's good to know what it is.

Joi, thanks! I never dreamed a hummer would come by so soon after the plantings!
