WBW - Hummingbird hangin out

This little cutie was hanging out on my Butterfly Bush for probably 10 minutes, just sitting there


And sitting there...

And sitting there...


Then I guess he decided it was time to move on, he started stretching his wings and tail feathers and then...


I got the flash!!!!!!!


That incredible blazing gorget!!


And lots of adorable stretching and then


Zip zip zip it was gone!!!

PS, I've recently been told about this great site for keeping track of your bird sightings.
 You can also see what others in your area or wherever you want to know about have spotted.
EBird.com
This little Rufous hummingbird was the first one I put in my personal database.

    Kristi, I so enjoy seeing your hummingbird pictures and all the picture of your birds and wildlife. We have a coupe hummingbirds but I have yet to get any good photos of them. I keep trying but to no avail. It's amazing that there are so many different types of hummingbirds out there.

    I've never seen a hummingbird take a break for so long. How lucky you got to see this little guy at rest.
