These little guys will be leaving us soon so have to take as many shots as I can while they're still here.
Back home again - the Hummingbird visiting in bright sunlight.
I would have liked to have had some at even higher shutter speed but they come and go so quickly.

Magnificent Hummingbird
Eugenes fulgens
The admirable hummingbird or Talamanca hummingbird (Eugenes spectabilis) is a large hummingbird. Some taxonomic authorities, such as the International Ornithological Committee, split the magnificent hummingbird into two species, in which case the nominate fulgens is rename Rivoli's hummingbird, and spectabilis is named the admirable hummingbird. Other taxonomic authorities have not recognized the split. The admirable hummingbird's range is Costa Rica to Panama.
Change the name of the monotypic group Eugenes fulgens fulgens from Magnificent Hummingbird (Northern) to Magnificent Hummingbird (Rivoli’s).
Change the name of the monotypic group Eugenes fulgens spectabilis from Magnificent Hummingbird (Costa Rican) to Magnificent Hummingbird (Admirable).

As I was strolling around my backyard gardens, I noticed this determined little ruby throated hummingbird was very angry with a yellow swallowtail for drinking her nectar.

This was the best I could do to get a close-up of this beautiful hummingbird without scaring her away!

The Calliope Hummingbird is the smallest breeding bird in North America and the smallest long-distance avian migrant in the world! This 3.25" long pollinator travels some 9,000 km round-trip on migration from northwestern U.S. and southwestern Canada to south-central Mexico. This tiny bird is threatened by a small winter range, which renders it vulnerable to a disease outbreak, large landscape changes, and severe weather events.
