Backyard

Notes:

My wife has tried for years to get hummingbirds to come to our backyard, but always with disappointment. We did get one last year, but now, we have a pair. I haven't gotten too close yet, but the female landed just long enough for me to get a couple of distant photos perched in the tree.
