I still don't see the hummingbird in the first pic. The second is great. My mom's neighbor is trying to lure hummingbirds to her area.
I was scared to look at that pic at first, because I was sure it was going to be one of those things where you stare at the pic really intensely, and all of a sudden, a horrid face screams at you! LOL!

I thought hummingbirds died if they stopped flapping their wings? Is that a myth?

They have to sit on their eggs, so I don't think so. I've seen a number of hummingbird nests, and *think* I even have a picture of a hummingbird sitting on its eggs.

Because they fly so much, they have poorly developed feet.... they can barely walk at all. The hummingbird is much more comfortable in flight. * * * * * * * * * LoVe, Rhapsody -

Yes, hummingbirds rest quietly. In the heat they pant. In the winter our Anna's stay over. I was quite shocked but not suprised to see one fly from he feeder one snowy morning and zip down into a hole at the base of a Redwood tree. They apparently cooperate with mammals and/or lizards to survive....... who knew?
Makes sense though, to eat bugs while the others are in stupor, to freshen the air by ins and outs with those little wings going..... Expains why they show up at the feeder dry and without icicles hanging from their little beaks..... which was a question that was driving me crazy for 20 years...... we know nothing about nothing, ya know?

Rhapsody, thanks for the fun facts! I wanna be a hummingbird (but I'd like to live longer than 5 or 6 years)! I love sugar!
What happened to the second baby hummer? Did it fall? Do I want to know? I'm so sad for it!
