Humming Right Along

I've not seen much of the Hummingbirds lately as it is the time of year the females nest.  Being Hummingbirds (fast) - it is only three weeks from the time the eggs hatch until the babies fledge.

Friday was gray and cold with intense rain showers.

This male Rufous hummingbird sought protection under the front porch.

He shook the water off his feathers. 

He contorted his neck (it looks like a swan's!) to do some grooming. 

A female Anna's Hummingbird came to the feeder.

As did this female Rufous (I think).  She has a spotted throat and brown tones on her chest. 

Lastly I spied this is a male Rufous with green-flecked wings.

Now I need to go out and refill the feeder!
