Popular Post alexfox Posted October 4, 2022 Popular Post Report Share Posted October 4, 2022 I've always been interested to see hummingbird. For me it is exotic bird, which I have never seen even in zoo. Is there a hummingbird in your country and can you see it in nature? And here is my latest - 7,5 x 9 inches, 4 layers.

Hummingbird pattern Alex my wife is a bird feeder. In the summer we usually have between 40 and 60 ruby throat Hummingbirds at our house. She usually goes thru 6 to 8 liters of sugar water for food a day. Your pattern is great. I will have to cut this one for my wife.

RabidAlien Posted October 5, 2022 Report Share Posted October 5, 2022 We don't get as many at our feeder, but usually have a dozen or so each summer. One or two emeralds, and the rest are .....black-throated? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TAIrving Posted October 5, 2022 Report Share Posted October 5, 2022 We get them twice a year as they pass through during their migration. We get lots of them, mostly Ruby-throated, at our feeder and they put on quite a show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blaughn Posted October 5, 2022 Report Share Posted October 5, 2022 Beautiful pattern and well cut! Hummingbirds are amazing creatures. They are so small and delicate yet they fly south from the northern states and Canada. They pause in Texas to bulk and recover from the journey. When they have sufficiently recovered their strength they fly 600 miles (966 km) across the gulf of Mexico to South America. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
munzieb Posted October 5, 2022 Report Share Posted October 5, 2022 (edited) Our Hummies just left to head south. They come almost on the same day in April and leave the same in October. We always look forward to their return and one year my wife had them feeding out of a hand feeder. Their "woosh" sound when they fly by is a welcoming sound as we sit watching them on our deck. My wife just ordered Alex's pattern from Etsy and it will be on my list of winter projects. 20220910_163832.mp4 Edited October 5, 2022 by munzieb mod picture Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dak0ta52 Posted October 6, 2022 Report Share Posted October 6, 2022 Something I really like about Alex Fox patterns is they are detailed without being too delicate. Nice piece as usual. We (wife and I) keep two feeders on our front porch. I don't believe we had as many this year as we've had in years past. I have been sitting on the porch swing having to keep my head on a swivel to keep from getting bopped in the noggin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dvdneal Posted October 6, 2022 Report Share Posted October 6, 2022 I'm in Arizona and we get Anna's hummingbirds year round. They nest in the neighbors tree and visit my courtyard all day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
