This poor little Anna's hummer looked like it had been in a battlefield. I think it may have been molting, but not sure.
Thank you Resin.
Roybird, sure looks like a male Black-chinned to me too. You're lucky to have him there. Wonder if he's on his way south? Great pictures, these little guys sure are fast. Hope you'll take some photos of the Broad-tailed. They don't get to our area at all and they look so pretty in my books.
This one was drinking on the run.
I caught this one before the sun was up this morning.
This Rufous was too lazy to find an open feeder.
Very nice ones duc!
Still here and totally luvin the pics! duc I think you are part hummer.
:-)
Help! I'm so addicted!!
Yes we appreciate it! :-)
Yes, we're enablers!!!
This male Anna's looked a little perturbed at me yesterday.
Ahhh, this is what I like, no fighting!
This Rufous was really enjoying the tabletop shower before the sun came up.
Lovely!
How cute! I just love those hummers. Will look for my broadtails soon.
This Anna's hummer was grooming himself.
Here's a cute Rufous.
Another Rufous
One more.
Duc, I love that grooming pic along with the others!
CUTE!
Hummingbirds are so great! And beautiful photos, too.
Wonderful photos, duc. I'm always intrigued by their tiny little feet hanging down.
Oh man! Hummers feeding from a bottle cap in your palm - that is just too much.
The moment my few hummers see me, they skedaddle. Maybe, I need to hang around them more.
But then again, I've only been feeding them about 2 months. How long do they have to be around a person before they'll feed that way?

I wouldn't say very long. Next year just try sitting by the feeders for a while until they are used to you.
Will do, thanks Mrs_Ed.

My mother's husband sits on the porch for hours in the summer and soon they are landing on his arm.
That cool Mrs.Ed. Yesterday I was standing close to the feeders with the camera and one came up to me and almost landed on the camera. They do get used to you standing or sitting close by.
An Anna's hummer.
This Rufous loves the Lantana blooms.
Your Anna is beautiful duc!!
Wowee, duc, the Anna's is so sharp and the iridescence is so clear.
Thank you Pelle and Margaret.
This is my "model" Anna's hummer.
Another flash and another cute photo.
You can see where these youngsters are just now beginning to turn red. They're not a bit bothered that I'm standing just 4 ft. away and clicking/flashing the camera.
Great pictures!
Those are beautiful Duc...I just love them!
Their beautiful duc! Wonderful shots!!
This is the only way I'd show this little guy. He has a deformed lower bill and a bad foot, but he's been protecting his feeder from sunrise to sunset for over a year.
This one loved the flash.
So did this Rufous
