Here is a Humming bird that guards the Hummingbird feeder hung in a nearby tree. I have never seen a Hummingbird sitting still, yet this guy sits above the feeder for hours. As soon as another Hummer comes down to drink, he chases them away, like it is his own. I have learned that Hummingbirds normally do not stay in one area, but migrate north and south with the seasons. I read that they remember where feeders are for them and that they feed on sugar water only enough to catch insects. Very interesting bird. A lot of people are totally addicted to them and their care. \u00a0They are very cute. The male has a bright red neck when he raises his head. It is yellow normally. The females are even smaller.<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1648\" src=\"https:\/\/jameswmfrank.commemoratemylife.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/Hummer-9A.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"423\" height=\"336\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1647\" src=\"https:\/\/jameswmfrank.commemoratemylife.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/Hummer-8A.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"420\" height=\"336\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1646\" src=\"https:\/\/jameswmfrank.commemoratemylife.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/Hummer-7A.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"430\" height=\"336\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1645\" src=\"https:\/\/jameswmfrank.commemoratemylife.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/Hummer-6A.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"406\" height=\"336\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1644\" src=\"https:\/\/jameswmfrank.commemoratemylife.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/Hummer-5A.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"405\" height=\"336\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1643\" src=\"https:\/\/jameswmfrank.commemoratemylife.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/Hummer-3A.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"381\" height=\"336\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1642\" src=\"https:\/\/jameswmfrank.commemoratemylife.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/Hummer-1A.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"427\" height=\"336\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I just love taking pictures.
