To Catch a Hummingbird

We put up a hummingbird feeder during our Saturday work day in July. I spotted our first hummingbird by that very next Monday. We've been seeing them regularly ever since.











Of course, the hard part is trying to photograph one with a basic digital camera.











The students feel so lucky when their class happens to be in the lab and a hummingbird visits outside our window. These students have learned about different animal structures and how they contribute to survival. They are discussing the shape of the hummingbird's beak.
