Friday Feathers - Favorites
Here are a few photos I took recently of a Hummingbird perched on an antenna.
Regardless of the sugar water and red plants readily available for ingestion, this particular Hummingbird chose instead to stay where it was. The bird would rarely show up at the feeder or the plants, and the only time I managed to get a shot of it was when it sunned itself up on the roof of the house.

it's like he's trying to make a statement....like a person sitting on a flagpole, er.

The ones around our house are extremely territorial, the would sit like that and watch the feeder and chase the other birds away (even non hummers) also they seem to feed in spurts.

Your camera work is so precise that you can't even tell that the hummingbird is sitting on a spinning propeller!

Ted - LOL!
Steve - I think they need to drink every 15 minutes... time yours the next time you see them.
RonW - yup, like a dog marks its territory. :-)
