I just seen a pair of hummingbird do this this year for the first time, it was a beautiful sight to see how the male struts his colors to the female! ❤
Thank you Marjie, so nice to hear from you. I hope that you and Vaughn are doing well. I have been taking some time off and dealing with life issues this past year, but still taking pictures I much as I can.
Hi Dear, I hope you are well. I have seen your RU-vid channel. Your channel is very good and your content is very nice but your channel needs few updates.
Like you need a professional logo and banner, customization on your channel. I researched your channel and I saw your channel has fewer visitors,subscribers,video likes and views.
I can help you if you want. I will create an attractive logo and banner, customize for your channel, I will SEO the videos of the channel and RU-vid advertising through Google Adwords.
Thanks Mark. I just got home to Washington State. I live up in the mountains close to the Canadian border on the east side of the state. We usually get Calliope, Rufous and Black-chinned here. They usually start showing up around now or within the next 2 weeks. I definitely have my eyes looking for them all the time now :)
This is apparently part 2 of their dance, the first part is the dive and chirp mentioned in another comment. That's what i was actually looking to see.
This is exactly what i was looking for and what I observed in my yard....it's the 2nd part of the dance...first the male does his dive-n-chirp repeatedly. IF the female stays around, he moves to part 2 seen here....where he quickly "jukes" back n forth...almost hypnotic like. Unfortunately, in my case, the female took off, so I didn't get to see any action. 😁 I've been "studying" these magnificent creatures for many, many years, and I've experienced amazing things. Thank you for the vid!
I am glad that you enjoyed the video. Thank you for commenting. I have spent a lot of time around hummingbirds. Watching and photographing them and never grow tired of observing and being around these amazing birds. You can see some of my photography of them here if you are interested : www.flickr.com/photos/tjnicol/albums/72157710815128678
@@tjnicol I just looked...beautiful pics! You're fortunate to have multiple species....we only get rubys...and i wonder why. I'm not a photographer by any means but actually learned from my children....they collected cameras. My best pics took hours of sitting and waiting, tho i do have some nice phone pics. Thanks again...it's a passion of mine 8)
Thank you Mark, that is awesome! i took this video in Florida last spring. I can not wait until they show back up here in Republic, WA in about a month. We get 3 different species here, Calliope, Black-chinned and Rufous. Some people are staring to see Anna's on this side of the state the past couple of years, hopefully this year I will see one here as well:))
We have not seen a nest AK. The females only started showing up last week. The males have been here for about a month. This displaying "dance" has been going on for a couple of days and happens several times a day. Finding a nest would be a real bonus, but it is kind of like finding a needle in a haystack :)
It sure is Margaret. Pure Heaven, in the Spring & Summer! Thanks for commenting :) I have included the article that you shared with me on my website :)
