Good thing that they stop to rest once in a while.

spent 3 hours 15 minutes waiting for my little angels to come to the feeder =D

Fiery-throated Hummingbird 2-6092

The guard was not at his post. This one took advantage of the opportunity. They're amazingly quick. Love the little air bubble it created.

Not sure if the ruby throat display is controlled by the bird or by the direction of the light. Or both.

It seemed like a long time before many hummingbirds showed up this year, but they are here now! This is a composite of two photos

I came away with three new hummingbirds on this trip!! I originally thought we would just see the Buff-bellied Hummer, but I also got the Ruby-throated Hummingbird AND the coveted Blue-throated Hummingbird. Awesome!!! I also got to get some better shots of the Black-chinned Hummingbird that we originally saw in Arizona. Yeah!!

Male Calliope Hummingbird in Jasper, Alberta, Canada. It's breeding time in the Canadian Rockies for these little guys.

We put out the feeder yesterday. The hummingbirds have already found it today. Pretty amazing.

Some of the other birds must have posted it on facebook. :-)

Some varmints (squirrels and raccoons) had torn down the previous feeders.

a frequent guest in our backyard. He stays in Southern California during winter, does not migrate to Mexico, like many other hummingbirds do.

This evening I heard a chittering outside and spotted this puffy white Hummingbird. I have had a female Anna's Hummingbird visiting my feeder lately so I suspect this may be her young watching Mom feed.

Butterfly World - Florida. Not a photo friendly place.

De retour d'un voyage à Cuba, où les colibris étaient très nombreux et actifs, volant d'arbre en arbre pour se nourrir du nectar des fleurs.

Back from a trip to Cuba, where hummingbirds were very numerous and active, flying from tree to tree to feed from the nectar of flowers.

The weather has turned colder now. I hope I still have a hummingbird visitor or two still... my feeders got very dirty while in the hospital. Today, we cleaned them and I am making more food. We'll see....

As I stood in a different part of our garden, this hummingbird decided to show off its in flight skill.

It is amazing how territorial hummingbirds are. We have 5 of them that have been fighting for the feeder.

I wanted to freeze them in flight so I used two flashes very close to them on low power (1/64). I would like to work on a better shot of them before they head south for the winter.

A lovely, but common hummingbird that visits the Tandayapa Bird Lodge in Ecuador.
