Sunflowers and Hummingbirds

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.
(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!

  5. How 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.

  7. There must be some sort of nectar in the sun flowers, and I had no idea it would attract hummingbirds.

  8. This 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.

    FANTASTIC captures Betty. Thanks for sharing the link this weekend.

  14. I'm wondering how unique it is to have a hummingbird feed from sunflowers like that as sunflowers are normally quite dry? Great pictures.

  18. I'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!
