Another Hummer Favorite

Hummingbirds love Columbine, and it is full of blooms right now, another flower that reseeds itself real well.

This second photo shows the long spurs on the back of the Columbine blossom, These are filled with nectar, it's no wonder the humingbirds love this stuff. The flower almost looks as if it was designed just for hummingbirds. They can easily get their beaks into those spurs.


The Hummingbirds are starting to visit the flowers a little more now, I hope to get some shots of them soon. There's another flower in the yard that's just starting to bloom and they love to land on the stems of it and sip the nectar from the blossoms, will try and get some shots of that happening.
