Just another Joe, this bumblebee hummingbird, is it just a hair bigger than a true bumblebee?Not bigger by a whole lot. We were standing on our front porch and this little guy was about three feet away for about 15 or 20 seconds. I thought when I first saw it that it was the biggest bumblebee I had ever seen. The he stopped at a flower and I saw the beek. Knew it was a hummingbird but I had just never seen one marked like that.

Yes! Those are the ones! The first time I spotted one was about three years ago, but it wasn't around long and I didn't get a good look. The last time I saw one was earlier this summer, out in my backyard. It was just flying around, but I actually got to watch for a few moments. Those hummers are so cool, but I've only seen one the two times.
