NOTE: The Black-chinned Hummingbird has a white patch just behind his eye...that's what you see here and not his eye.
This was the best I could do to get a close-up of this beautiful hummingbird without scaring her away!
Anna's Hummingbird dealt with snow on its feeder, which I repeatedly swept off. The feeder is sheltered, but the snow was blowing horizontally.

Allen's Hummingbird (Selasphorus sasin), photographed by a back garden feeder in San Jose, California.
Today is the first time I've seen a hummingbird at my new feeder I'd put out June 20. He came back for a few visits. I hope to get some much better shots in the future!
Costa Rica has many hummingbird species such as this Scintillant Hummingbird found at middle elevations.

Scintillant Hummingbird - Female - Savegre, Costa Rica
This was shot on the last day of our Costa Rica trip in December 2009 at the Savegre Lodge. Savegre Lodge is a beautiful place with one of the best locations in a deep valley (almost a ravine). The bird variety here is amazing. We also saw the Resplendent Quetzal here, many varieties of the hummingbirds, a flower piercer, Flame-colored tanager etc. etc. This is one place where I will spend a few days during my next visit to Costa Rica.
Costa Rica is one of the few places on the planet that we hope to visit more than once. Beautiful birds, beautiful people and lovely land. I will always cherish my memories from this first trip.
I worked this guy for a while trying to get him to flash that brilliant gorget and those head feathers. Almost every image has one or the other, but only this one had both!
A very small tongue protrudes from the beak of a female Ruby-throated hummingbird. I have had lots of fun photographing these petite wonders.
The Preserve is home to more than 250 species of native wildlife, living in natural and restored habitats along our trails and pathways. As you explore the Preserve, you're likely to spot wandering ground squirrels, lizards, insects and more!
Within hours of putting up a Hummingbird feeder in early May, I had a couple of these pretty little visitors. Throughout the last few weeks, there have been several, including what I believe might be a least one youngster. They never cease to fill me with awe and joy!!
Last winter the Hummingbirds had not discovered my feeder. This year they are present multiple times through the day. It is rare that I can see this much of them usually they keep the feeder between me and them. I happen to be on the balcony trying to photograph something else and I was able to catch this bird as he arrived to feed.
