Hummingbird




We are hanging a hummingbird feeder near the porch.
Since the feeder can be seen through the kitchen window,
we noticed that we have lots of customers lately.
I took pictures of them today.
Actually, it was not so difficult at all.
It seems like they don't care about people so much.
Even if I was standing by the feeder,
they didn't hesitate to come.

Although they are so tiny, they can move so fast.
You would be very surprised if you could see them fly.
You can tell they are near you because of the sound of their wings.
The sound is like a bee's buzzing.
That's why hummingbird is called ハチドリ in Japanese.

Looking at hummingbirds is soooooo amazing!
