Watching the Hummingbirds at the Deck Feeder

The hummingbirds will be leaving soon. But for now I still see two or three every day at the deck feeder. Managed to get this shot yesterday from the patio doors. They are such beautiful little birds. They will fit in the palm of your hand. Love seeing all kinds of birds in my backyard. Another sunshine day here and they have been buzzing at the feeder all morning.

@CarolDM We have other birds that chase them and the wasps like to take over the feeders. I have never seen so many different type of wasps as there are here
