Hummingbird on Clothesline #WordlessWednesday

I was sitting in the backyard near this hummingbird's favorite flower container when she (a female ruby throated hummingbird) came by.

She made kissing sounds at me - no, it wasn't the buzzing sound her wings make. Rather, it was a quick series of chirps.  Maybe it was a greeting, but I don't think so.  This hummer does not go to our feeder when I am in the yard.

Instead, she flew to a nearby clothesline.

I slowly lifted my iPhone while she sat there looking at me.  To my amazement she let me take her picture.

    These little guys are always in motion and it's rare for one to sit for its "portrait." Congratulations!

    What a cutie pie. We feed all the birds here and I agree they are hard to get a shot of. Well done.

    The only time I've had a female chirp at me, and sit still near me, was when I was too near her nest. I think she was getting after me! It was a July, so maybe yours has a nest?

    One evening while sitting on the sofa watching TV, I happened to look out the living room window. The sunlight bouncing off the wind chime caught my eye and I be darn, there was a hummingbird mid-flight. He/she jitted side to side for a few seconds before zipping off. That was the weirdness thing. I wondered if the sun sparkled chimes attracted him/her? You got a great picture of your kissie hummingbird. :)
