Backyard bird feeding on the Fire Lily near Arcata, California on the Northcoast of Humboldt County.
One hummingbird landed and held onto the stalk for some time. It wasn't feeding so I'm not sure what was going on. The other hummers were having lots of staring contests but no overt fighting, though they really liked feeding on these flowers.
Photographed May 12th in Costa Rica on tour with Neotropic Photo Tours, led by Juan Carlos Vindas.
Spotted this hummingbird in the pine tree in the backyard. It was enjoying the evening sunshine. The light was hitting the feathers bringing out the green colour. Truly amazing.
My first Instagram post direct from Lightroom. Two photos and two videos posted as of today! www.instagram.com/juliasumangil/ en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anna's_hummingbird
She was a beauty to shoot (with camera, lol). But, fast and not easy to grab a solid focus. Once in awhile, I lucked out, though. hahaa
More hummingbird photos that I shot in my backyard, Yakima County, Washington. Although I didn't photograph the Anna's, I saw male and female Black-chinned, female or juvenile Rufous, and female or juvenile Anna's. I need to brush up on how to distinguish female from juvenile hummingbirds.
I just saw this guy at my feeder.

Rufous Hummingbirds have the hummingbird gift for fast, darting flight and pinpoint maneuverability. They are pugnacious birds that tirelessly chase away other hummingbirds, even in places they’re only visiting on migration. Like other hummers, they eat insects as well as nectar, taking them from spider webs or catching them in midair.

The smallest hummingbird within its range, is found only in the mountains of Costa Rica and western Panama.
In La Boca near Trinidad on Cuba, this little, cute Hummingbird visited us and the flowers around every day. We just had to sit in our swing chairs at our a patio and had to wait for him coming. But as long as it has taken sometimes until he came, as fast he bustled around and flied away. Sometimes he looked like a flash.
What you can see on the picture was the only time I have seen him just sitting around and relaxing for a minute.
The first time I have ever seen a Hummingbird and I don't have my shutter speed fast enough. This is the only one that was sort of in focus.
Our tour finishes tomorrow and we have two days in Vancouver before flying home. It has been wonderful, but we are both feeling weary and it will be good to go home.
Madera Canyon, AZ
We saw 11 kinds of hummingbirds on this trip, and I spent a lot of time trying to photograph them. I don't believe there is a better place to see hummingbirds in the US than southeast AZ.
The Broad-billed Hummingbird is one of the easier species to photograph because they dominate the feeder areas, and then stick around and pose, compared with say the Rufous who chases everyone and doesn't come back. They also hover a lot when they feed.
I'm afraid I will be posting rather a lot of hummingbird shots....
Photographed at my home.
I have been seeing a black-chinned male about once a day and wonder if some of the birds I have identified as Anna's are actually female black-chinned hummingbirds. I don't recall if this one was pumping her tail but one that I did not photograph last night was pumping her tail and was likely a black-chinned female. If my id is incorrect please let me know.
