Beautiful little birds...one of God’s most beautiful and enchanting little creations.

I’m no authority on hummingbirds. I just stumbled upon the Phoebe site and became enthralled with her- seeing at so very close range how she feeds and cares for them on the nest- and even after they fledge.

We have some hummer feeders out and there always seem to be hummers around all year here in S Texas.
Have no idea what species they are, but they’re so pretty.

Perhaps you will find some info here on how to ID your hummies....
