Fun day at the fountain with a few good birds and a few great friends. Not sure how that drip happened, so I guess it was magic!

The Hummingbird population seems to be increasing in the backyard. Every one has their own branch to peruse the landscape. And this Allen's Hummingbird is keeping a close watch on the Bottlebrush.

Lucifer Hummingbird (Calothorax Lucifer)
One of my target birds in my Arizona trip was this Lucifer Hummingbird. There are not many pairs that occur in the United States and those that do are in the extreme southern parts of AZ, NM and TX.

Hummingbirds split from their sister group, the swifts and tree swifts, around 42 million years ago. The common ancestor of extant hummingbirds is estimated to have lived 22 million years in South America. They are known as hummingbirds because of the humming sound created by their beating wings, which flap at high frequencies audible to humans.

Hummingbird -
Hummingbirds are among the smallest of birds, most measuring 3–5 inches, and the 5-cm bee hummingbird, weighing less than a U.S. penny! All hummingbirds depend on flower nectar to fuel their high metabolisms.
Hope you enjoyed my view!

After a lull in hummingbird activity in the area for several weeks, I'm thrilled to be hosting three juvenile Anna's hummingbird in my yard. They have been the sweetest joy to watch grow and thrive. They change so quickly & are now busy practicing territorial displays with each other, an adult Rufous Hummingbird male & and an adult Anna's male.
Photographed at my home last night in mostly shade and poor light. I got lucky a couple of times but there is lots of noise in this photo. IMG_1290
