Humming Along on Sunday

Lots and lots of Hummers this week.

They've been active in the flowers

Working away

Watching

Back to flowers

Female Anna watching...

...and waiting...

...while the light shines on her feathers.

Anna hovering...

...and eating.

A female Rufous with the same game plan...

...and the same menu item.

My wonderful surprise this week was the first sighting in a couple of months of a male Anna's Hummingbird.

Note the dark feathers on the head - when they catch the light they will all gleam pinky / fuchsia.

Ready for take-off!

  4. Your hummingbird photos are amazing! How do you manage to get such great shots of them? They move way too fast for me to even get my camera focused, lol.
