I remember your feeding them...Absolutely perfect !<br /><br />I remember your feeding them in the freezing weather you had last winter. <br /><br />I wonder why they stay ? If it wasn't for people will they move to warmer places ? Have they become so dependent on humans for food that they can't leave ?<br />Has your cold winters got colder ?<br /><br />I really don't see them as winter birds.<br /><br />This is so interesting. <br /><br />cheers, parsnipangryparsniphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17236094827257446781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4424004817560458114.post-84542898394928632612011-11-13T11:21:10.696-08:002011-11-13T11:21:10.696-08:00Stephanie,
Surprising that the Rufous hummers are...Stephanie, <br />Surprising that the Rufous hummers are still there Stephanie. Aren't they usually are gone by this time of year. And while the rose hips might attract them it's hard to know what could they be getting from them.<br /><br />Barb,<br />I doubt I'll be carrying the tripod around much but for photographs at home it works. These Anna's hummingbirds actually overwinter in Victoria. When the weather goes below freezing (which it does from time time) we have to make a special concentrated nectar for the feeder and bring it in to warm up throughout the day. Without human help I think they wouldn't survive.Joannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16449827163911239893noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4424004817560458114.post-46887006996584435932011-11-13T11:03:23.434-08:002011-11-13T11:03:23.434-08:00I know what you mean about not being still enough ...I know what you mean about not being still enough hand-held. I have a tripod, however, and rarely use it. Too much trouble to carry with me. Lovely clear photo of hummer - hard to believe you still have them hanging around.Barbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04984171407726520584noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4424004817560458114.post-3799459307932880372011-11-13T10:06:13.350-08:002011-11-13T10:06:13.350-08:00Wonderful camera work you are doing. It's so ...Wonderful camera work you are doing. It's so hard to capture these birds.<br /><br />Surprisingly, we've had Rufous hummers around for the last couple of weeks. They seem to be interested in the big rose hips. Can this be?Stephanie Vhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03206167025245206754noreply@blogger.com
