Buff-bellied hummingbird

 

We have a resident hummingbird.

 

The buff-bellied hummingbird.

 

He doesn’t migrate.

 

He’s here year-round.

 

Most of the year there are just one or two hanging around the feeder in our yard.

 

Right now though, we have five or six of them buzzing around, making us duck when they fly right through our deck, under the canopy where we’re sitting.

 

Their increase in numbers might have something to do with the fact that each pair of hummingbirds just raised a couple chicks to adulthood, so we’re at their peak population for the year.

 

Whatever, the more hummingbirds the better, as far as we’re concerned.
