Hummingbird Visitors

I have noticed these past few weeks that the hummingbird activity has picked up.  I try to keep the feeder supplied with fresh nectar so that we do not serve fermented sugar water.  Hummingbirds are erractic enough without being intoxicated.  Here are some pictures that the hubs took this morning with his Mac of all Daddies camera.



Hummingbird Fast Facts (Thank you Google)

* Hummingbirds flap their wings 80 times a second.  While they are courting a mate they can flap their wings as fast as 200 times a second.  How is that even possible?
* Hummingbirds have no sense of smell.
* Hummingbirds can migrate up to 500 miles to the Gulf of Mexico.
* A hummingbird egg weighs about as much as a penny.
*  Last one, I am getting bored and Owen is pulling crap out of my pantry.  At rest a hummingbird's heart beat 250 times a minute.  Told you they were erratic.
