Yesterday was a nice warm day, 88°. Although thunder and dark clouds caused Findley and I to hurry through our morning walk, it didn't rain. It seems our sunflowers like this rainy year. We have a good crop and more to come.
I always see Goldfinches, Cardinals and other birds, but have never seen a Hummingbird enjoying the flowers until yesterday when this little lady showed up.

(Note the Findley photo bomb)
We have grown sunflowers beside our storage shed since we've lived here. I always see Goldfinches, Cardinals and other birds, but have never seen a Hummingbird enjoying the flowers until yesterday when this little lady showed up.
She liked the yellow flowers...
...red flowers...
...and multicolored blooms.

Happy Sunday, Roan! I love the Findley and sunflower shot and your hummer images are just beautiful. I have never seen the hummers near the sunflowers. Great photos, enjoy your day!
ReplyDeleteOh Roan your photos are exquisite and made my morning. It can stop raining here anytime haying is just not going well. Hug B
ReplyDeleteWonderful shots - what a treat to have a hummingbird stay around that long.
ReplyDeleteThe sunflowers have us smiling☺ Beautiful shots, Miss BJ!
ReplyDeleteHow wonderful! The hummingbird is a special treat. Your sunflowers are beautiful. I wrote my last blog about visiting a sunflower farm in Connecticut. I love them.
ReplyDeleteBright and sunny, lovely colored flowers. They are so pretty.
ReplyDeleteThere must be some sort of nectar in the sun flowers, and I had no idea it would attract hummingbirds.
ReplyDeleteThis is new to me also. But when you think about it, I've seen woodpeckers [the TX goldenfronted] feeding in sunflowers and they also feed from the hummingbird nectar feeders, so I guess turn about is fair play.
ReplyDeleteFANTASTIC captures Betty. Thanks for sharing the link this weekend.
Nice to see a glimpse of where you live. Love the sunflowers!
ReplyDeleteI can see why the hummers were attracted to your flowers. They're so bright and beautiful!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos - I so wish we had humming birds here in England!
ReplyDeleteHello Roan, your photos are breathtaking and refreshing. Thank you so much for sharing. :)
ReplyDeleteThe Hummingbird is literally posing for you.
ReplyDeleteLove that sunflower.
I'm wondering how unique it is to have a hummingbird feed from sunflowers like that as sunflowers are normally quite dry? Great pictures.
ReplyDeleteHow wonderful to get all these great photos of the hummers on your sunflowers. So sharp and clear!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful shots. I love your sunflowers.
ReplyDeleteJust loved your beautiful photos! It's so good to see your posts, and I love these lovely sunflowers and your unexpected visitor.
ReplyDeleteI'm growing red sunflowers for the first time, maybe the hummingbirds like them, but I haven't seen them visiting yet. I'll have to try the bigger sunflowers next year. Cool shots of the hummingbirds!
ReplyDeletesomewhat strange to see the small bird against the large flower :)
