This summer has brought us precious few hummingbirds, so I went into a photo folder from July 2021 to find some. I also found some colorful daylilies.

Daylilies and Hummingbirds
People are commenting on how few hummingbirds we're seeing in western Virginia this year. This may be due to the very hot and dry weather. Threats to these small birds include climate change, pesticide use, and loss of habitat.

Love the hummingbird
ReplyDelete...I have seen a number of hummingbirds, but captured none f them with my camera. Have an Awesome August.
ReplyDeleteIt is an established fact that Ruby- throated Hummingbird is in steep decline. It used to be that we could barely keep our feeders filled, now we bring them in day after day to clean them out and refill them. We have only two backyard sightings all year.
ReplyDeleteThey are fascinating birds.
ReplyDeleteI love Daylilies, Hummingbirds are adorable. Thanks for being part of Garden Affair.
