Allen's Hummingbird ♂
I captured this male Allen's Hummingbird in San Marcos while visiting. I was very fortunate to get most of the iridescence on his gorget which would be black otherwise as they turn their neck and the light is different. This was a new bird for me since we only had the Ruby-throated Hummingbirds in my previous home of Maryland and I had a week to see these as well as the Anna's.
