Sunday's Hummers

I now know that I have two mature male Anna's Hummingbirds.
That's why last week's post was so heavy with mature male photos.

This week I am featuring female Anna's Hummingbirds...

...and young male birds.

I think there are also at least two young males.

They have a bit of color at the throat. 

When the light is dull, the throat color appears to be a darker triangle.

Still lots of floral nectar, so pollen bits on the bird's beak.

I always think that those throat feathers and on other species their head feathers look like little sequins. You have photographed them beautifully! you need to be in a birding magazine!

I love those little flashes of colour - they really stand out.
