The male hummingbird managed to sit still long enough for me to get a picture of him this morning! It was a rare opportunity, because he usually never stays in one spot for very long. He's a pretty little bird with a metallic green back and white tips at the end of his tail. I guess that I'll have to come up with a name for him too...

My "el cheapo" Walmart camera strains and groans to get very clear photos when it has to zoom in such an enormous way. |

I'm glad that he felt comfortable enough to perch in the lilacs for awhile this morning. Such a cute little handsome fellow. =:) |

And while I was taking photos of the male, Humma stopped by the feeder to grab a drink. I'm bummed out that the iron rod that holds the feeder up was in the way... it would've been a cute shot of her.
I think that these two probably have a nest somewhere, but it would be a miracle if I was ever able to find it. They are so tiny!
I found this stock photo on the internet of the actual size of a hummer nest with a size comparison to a penny:
