Saw A Fledgling Today

These first two photos are of another hummingbird visiting some of the flowers that are blooming in my yard right now. These are the same flowers momma hummingbird has kept guard over.



I thought it might be fun to check out some of the flowers hummingbirds love, and the fledglings will soon be visiting. One already has that I know of, I was sitting on the porch drinking some coffee this morning, camera inside the house plugged in to let the battery charge, when one of the fledglings stopped by for a visit, it checked out some Petunias, then the new feeder from Duncraft, and landed on the Duncraft feeder and sat there for a few minutes before flying off again. I will have to keep an eye out for them now and see if I can't get some photos of them.

The hummingbird pictured here is visiting the Jupiters Beard, it's in full bloom right now, and the hummingbirds love it.

This is another flower they love, it's a form of Linaria and it is blooming right now, I have both a pink and purple flowered ones.

This last photo is of Lambs Ears, I have two different types, this one is blooming right now, and the hummingbirds do like it. If you leave the flower stalks on them over the winter in the spring the hummingbirds will collect down from them for their nests.

I will post some other flowers over the weekend, and hopefully before too long some photos of the fledglings when they start to visit. Another note about the flowers posted tonight is all three of these reseed themselves, and seem to do fine without much watering. So far the deer haven't eaten the Jupiters Beard but they sometimes do.
