Sunday's Hummers

As of Wednesday, I had a Rufous Hummingbird lingering. 

The light for this series was perfect - the colors look so rich...

..with a dusting of pollen on the bill.

Same bird - different light.

I think it is a young male.  Can you see the tiny patch of iridescent yellow/copper feathers on the throat?   

Watching...and...

...snagging a tiny insect for dinner.

And on to the Anna's.

A young male with a small patch of throat color.

On the look out.

An adult male.

Full color reveal!

Same bird...

Yep - same bird!
