Calliope Hummingbird (Male)
Calliope hummingbird (male) in flight near feeder. [4-5569]
This is the first time I have seen one of these colorful fellows. He was quite a bit smaller than the other hummingbirds that have been frequenting my yard (Anna's, rufous, Allen's, and black-chinned). My daughter suggested that it could be an "Elsa's hummingbird," since it looks a little like an Anna's hummingbird...
Thank you to Engilis Photos for confirming the identification.
Strobist Info: SB-800 at 1/8 in mini-softbox from above camera right. Bare SB-700 at 1/64 from beneath. Phottix Strato II wireless trigger on SB-700 with sync cord from trigger to SB-800.
