Title: Hummingbirds Hummingbirds in Rose of Sharons in my Yard.
Post by: Fotobirder on September 01, 2016, 04:32:35 PM
I've been waiting a long time this year to get some Hummingbird Photos in Flowers. I've been mostly stuck in my yard because of Health problems. Our Rose of Sharrons started to Bloom. But the Hummers just wouldn't come. So. I came up with A Plan. I put one of our Feeders in the Rose of Sharron Bush in A good place for Photos. Our House and our Neighbors House is divide by A Rail toad Tie Wall up about 4 or 5 feet. I finally started getting the Hummers coming but not to the Rose of Sharrons. It took A while but I finally got some good photos. Hope you enjoy.

I noticed that the hummingbirds are not going for the flower, but the base of the flower.
Is that where they find the nectar or is there some other reason?
