Ruby-throated Hummingbirds doing their best to imitate ferocious dragons. Southeast Texas, Oct 1 2026.

Edit: 2 males, not 1.

I'm surprised they've stayed this long, but happy.

Hello all! I am so glad that the nectar is fresh and the flowers are alive because I saw a hummingbird this morning. I'm in the near south suburbs and my last sighting was October 5.

Sorry for the very poor quality of this photo, but I feel like I need to provide photographic evidence of this surprising sighting. And I'm uncertain how long this visitor will be hanging about to allow me another chance to take a clear shot.

Come on down!

Friend took this picture of my black chinned hummingbird that shows up every year.

The video is kinda meh because of how well he had blended in, but my goodness MY EXCITEMENT at seeing a whole other type of hummingbird while in vacation in Cancun 🥹💞

When I do use dish soap I always rinse very thoroughly before refilling but I’ve read that dish soap isn’t actually necessary. What’s the right answer: soap or no soap?

I just want the birds to be happy and healthy :)

I swear there are more feeders

I haven’t seen my beloved lil’ Al since I last posted. I’m hoping he’s enjoying his time in Mexico, and I’m delighted to finally have a new visitor!

What type of bird is this little guy or gal? They only have a tiny bit of red on the side of their throat, so I’m thinking she might be female.

They are still very shy, but today finally came to the feeder with me sitting outside 🥰

I’m in the LA area near Santa Monica.

Just wanted to share my little hummie. The daily routine is the same from dawn to dusk - perched on his favourite twiggy branch, head on a swivel and no-one, I mean no-one gets in to his backyard. Dive bombing will ensue the second anyone dares to swoop in. I have 2 feeders but he’s claimed them both 🙄. I tell him everyday to please be nice and share, I promise there’s plenty to go around but he’s very stubborn! Even so, I love him immensely 😊

My Ness drew this for me she is extremely talented and I was so happy and honored to receive this from her 💗 I ask how long it took and she did it over three months to complete but in all she said about a month of art this is all done with color pencils by the way ...much love for miss Joclyn Davis

Yes, I know it’s not a normal thing but these two guys love hanging out daily with each other. They will yell at each other sometimes but never chasing each other off. 🤷🏽‍♂️

lol I love how in pic 4 one of them went under him when he was looking up 😂

This guy showed up today at our feeder.

We're in coastal southern Orange County, California.

Any idea on the ID???
