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.
I'm not sure but I think this is an Anna's Hummingbird.

The background here is a blueberry patch. This was taken on a sub-alpine slope in Cypress Provincial Park, British Columbia.

Pretty cool little birds. A good photography challenge. :-)
Ruby-throated hummingbird (Archilochus colubris)
The Bumblebee Hummingbird is the second-smallest bird known to be in existence - second only to the Bee Hummingbird. It averages 2.75 inches or 7 cm in length and weighing, on average, 0.1 oz or 3 grams. They are comparable in size to bumble bees and are lighter than a Canadian or U.S. penny.
May be viewed large and is available for purchase at LGeoffroy.com

My parents house gets tons of wild birds and their favorite is the hummingbird. They even have books dedicated to the birds of the area. I'll call this one the 'common suburban hummingbird'
