Rufous Hummingbird feeding from an agastache flower. The agastache has just started flowering, pretty late in the summer as far as the hummers are concerned.
I visited my son in California in May and I am always delighted when I see the Hummingbirds .... they fascinate me with their wing speed they are such lovely little birds. This one came visiting late afternoon and was getting a good feed with all the flowers in the garden.

This little guy has been hanging around the bee balm for the last couple weeks. He should be gone any day now.
Male Ruby-throated Hummingbird - Being the bluebirds and swallows are done nesting, I switched to the hummingbirds. The one male is getting use to me and doesn't seem to mind me being close.
It's crazy sitting out in 19 degree weather in central Pennsylvania, to photograph a Hummingbird! This is the same male I photographed at the end of the summer right after he was banded by a friend. Redemption on my earlier snaps....."best served cold!"
This is a Rufous Hummingbird investigating a flower of the Clivia plant. Since they do not bloom here naturally (it is an indoor plant), the hummingbirds didn't really figure out what to do with the flower.
The colorful iridescence of the male Rufous Hummingbird will soon be brightening the garden as it migrates north to its breeding grounds. The activity becomes quite frenzied at times as these aggressive hummers defend their temporary feeding grounds. Our resident Anna's Hummingbirds sometimes go bill to bill with the Rufous, as if dueling swords will determine the victor. I very much look forward to their migratory trips north in the spring as well as their trips south in the fall for the sense of added adventure and entertainment they contribute to the garden!

Hummingbird feeder on our deck. They are so much fun to watch as they feud and fuss over "their" food source.
I have been trying and trying to get the gorgeous male hummingbird at the feeder in front of the sliding door to no avail, but I did get this juvenile the other day, I love the bokeh on this shot too!
I am so far behind on commenting, spending a lot of time outside these days, there is always something to do in the garden and the weather has been perfect for about a week now.
