This female hummingbird has been fiercely defending her feeder, except when the male is around.
Female Ruby-Throated Hummingbird.
Male Ruby-Throated Hummingbird: “Nah! This is my feeder!”
However, the squirrel did not get the memo.
Squirrel climbing on feeder hanger, to no avail. He did climb down and went to another feeder with the same results because it was squirrel proof.
The following images are from last year’s summer end.

Fantastic hummingbird captures, and I can’t help but love the squirrel shot, his stance gave me a giggle! 🙂

You are so right! Squirrels should get a medal or two for ingenuity and persistence.

Great photos of the hummingbirds! The rest of the photos are very good also, but I love hummers and haven’t seen many of them this year.

Your photographs are so beautiful Hien – wonderful reminders of the beauty of summer days. Love the hummingbirds, we’ve had a female hanging around – been fun watching her. Our resident squirrel decided to make a large birdhouse we have his home and place to store oak nuts – much to our dismay. Nice to see your work again ~
