Yes I live in S. Texas but I am telling you it is Cold....40 degrees F. (5 C.) and I know you people in the North are laughing at me and saying "Girl that isn't cold" but it is...lol...The feels like temp is 31 degrees F. and the wind chill is 28 degrees F.....I am telling you it's COLD!!
What is funny is Grammie is coming down here soon to get away from the cold, ha ha ha...Of course to her this will feel like summer I am sure...but wait until she feels that wind, ekk!!
I was on a mission this morning as I knew that little Hummingbird was and is still here...I wanted a photo...Just never thought to see a Hummingbird stick around this winter...personally I think he's crazy...I think being with family in S. America would be much better than flying around here freezing your tail off...silly bird!!
But my patience was rewarded and he came in for a feeding, of course fresh warm nectar might have something to do with that...kind of like us with a cuppa tea or coffee on a brisk morning...I am sitting at my desk and I can hear him out there chirping! He's sticking close to that feeder today and probably swearing because he didn't fly South with the rest of the family!!
I am thinking this is either a female or immature Buff-Bellied Hummer (but don't quote me on that!)
Now to go warm myself up with a nice cuppa tea!!

Poor bird!! It is COLD here!! Tonight the low is 29!!! ouch that's going to stink in the morning!!
Maybe we will have a "snow day" tomorrow! haha
Sitting here on the beach in South Cambodia it's hard for us to remember how cold we used to get in South Texas! Which is why we always headed for Asia in the winter. All those northern folk called "Winter Texans" used to be amazed that we thought it was too cold to hang around. So, like the birds, except for your crazy little cutie, we're enjoying being warm somewhere other than Texas! Great photos of the hummer.
he, he. Of course I couldn't stop by without laughing at your "cold" weather. -11 here with the wind chill and I'm pretty happy with it. LOL. It could be worse!
Love the hummingbird shots!!
P.S. LOVE your blog header. Just gorgeous!!!
Hi Wendy,
Ok this one is definitively crazy or he likes very much your food supply device. It's nice anyway to be able to see him on a regular base... Let's hope he will do fine... 5°C is rather cold for him... What a nice story anyway...
