Refueling

While I seem to encounter an abundance of female and juvenile Anna's hummingbirds feeding at these flowers, I haven't had as many chances at getting the males. They are all either surveying their territories from certain perches or doing their flashy aerial acrobatics. The few times I have seen them feed, they linger for a second, then off they go, or I've screwed up.

 

Finally, I managed to get one of these guys refueling. He needs all the energy for those looping dives I see him make!

 

The white background is that of a painted door. Can't do anything about that, I'm afraid!
