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.

Shot 3 in set from Wakanki Orquidiario - Golden-tailed Sapphire with other unidentified hummingbird behind. I couldn't have asked them to line up better than this.
twyla had a great doctor visit..her tummy felt good on palpation, lymph nodes normal...heart murmur no change...her oncologist was very pleased with how well she is doing & did talk to us about two chemotherapy drugs that he would like to try on her....they will be compounded together and given on a daily basis...she will go off steroids now.... there's no promise that these drugs will have any great help with her cancer , but he fells is well worth the try and so do we...theres always belief , hope & faith...

Actually, this came out pretty well considering I wasn't prepared to shoot humming birds on this evening at a friend's house.

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.

Costa Rica has many hummingbird species such as this Scintillant Hummingbird found at middle elevations.
Difficult little fellows to capture! SHot these with a Sigma 150-500mm (at 500mm) at very high ISO (1600) due to bad light. We put out a new hummingbird feeder and it's already luring in a few different birds.
A very small tongue protrudes from the beak of a female Ruby-throated hummingbird. I have had lots of fun photographing these petite wonders.
