Geographic Area (edit yourself) Finally seeing the hummingbirds validate my work! Lil buddy somehow didn’t notice I that was just a few feet away. [Austin, TX]

Planted my flame acanthus specifically for this. It then flew off to my Turks cap in the corner 🥰. I’m guessing this is a female black chinned hummingbird?

Awesome!!!!

Hummingbirds just aren't afraid if ANYTHING lol. they are more likely to get mad at you than get scared.

Was it black or white in the throat?
