Hummingbirds of Flower Hill Farm

One of the most enchanting birds are the hummingbirds.  We cherish our sole species here at Flower Hill Farm.  I have had numerous scintillating moments where a Ruby-throated Hummingbird would suddenly appear and sip from individual flowers I was holding in my hand.  Or a time when I had to rescue a hummer that was not able to find his way out of the breezeway and was darting back and forth up in the rafters.  I enjoy watching them perch outside my barn studio and marvel at the teeny birds preening or opening their straw-like bill as if to shout.  Two males rising up like a water fountain always entertain with their fencing techniques.  I hope you enjoy this collection of our native hummers.
