Two Hummingbirds in the Rain

Today is the second day we have rain. More coming tomorrow. I don't mind, no flooding here thankfully. The hummingbirds enjoy the rain. Snapped this from inside the patio doors and actually got two in one photo. They were hanging out at the deck feeder. This is a rare shot. Two sitting still does not happen often. Enjoying the little things from my living room. Even with the rain, nature has much for us to enjoy. Photo is mine.

WOW that's a truly awesome shot. I hope you plan to enlarge it so you can hang it on one of your walls.

I sure would, what are the odds you'll ever get another shot like this?

@rebelann Pretty slim probably. But if I keep snapping I might get lucky.

@CarolDM I plan to stick some shepherd crook poles and hang bird feeders up in the back yard at the other house. I think there will be more of a chance for hummers over there.

The 'trade' at my bird feeder has dropped right off. Don't the usual callers are migratory, but maybe they have moved on to pastures greener

I haven't seen a hummingbird around here for quite awhile---I wonder if the new owners taking down all the bushes, fruit trees, etc., sent them going somewhere else for food!

That is possible. You should put up a feeder.
