When I first saw this, I thought this hummingbird was spitting out water. Turns out it is sticking its tongue out. This is only a problem when they can not retract it. I took several pictures in a row and I believe this is the only one with its tongue out.
Thanks to a friend who has hummingbird plants and feeders and her very gracious invitation, I was able to photograph multiple birds visiting her plants and feeders. She finds this time of the year is the best time to see them. The best times to view is between 2-5 p.m. She usually sees them frequently in August after they babies fledge.
It is amazing what you can catch coming to a feeder! Enjoy the rest of your weekend.

I read recently that hummers are getting ready to fly away and need to get as much nourishment as they can. Judging by how much of the nectar they are consumng in our hummer feeder I think this must be true.

My friend thinks they are getting ready to migrate. She saw less of them today.

First time I saw it as well. Did not realise until after I looked at the photos on my computer. Hard to see details like that in the back of your camera.
