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.

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 took me a while to realize I was seeing Violet-bellied not Green-crowned Woodnymphs.

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!"
Whenever I go shopping in Richmond, I stop at the Richmond Nature Park on the way home. I'm never disappointed there. Always lots to see and photograph.
Of course, the star attraction at the park are the hummingbirds.
This bronzy inca hummingbird is zeroing in on his next meal. He had already inserted his beak in the flower to the right and in this shot he is just about to feed off the second flower. If you look carefully you can see that he has dislodged some pollen from the first flower.
Bronzy incas live in humid montane forests from the northern Andes in Venezuela south to southeast Bolivia. These birds are often considered to be among the drabbest of hummingbirds but if you get them in the right light light you can see a rich range of colours.
I photographed this bronzy inca at the Cock of the Rock Lodge in Manu National Park in Peru.
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!

So nice to see this lovely hummer, but it was a very grey day and he needs more light on him for a sharper image. Still...I am pleased.
