Unlike in the DC area, the variety of hummingbird species in Costa Rica blew me away. Many of them were new to me. They move so fast and are incredibly active while seeking nectar. It was a blast to watch.

A Hummingbird enjoys the flowers of my garden! They are so swift and very hard to capture. When they come it is always a pleasure to watch!

~Immature male ruby throat hummingbird~ No more fighting off the mature males as most of them have left for the Winter. The females and immatures will follow in a few weeks. Have a great weekend my friends! ~Sam

Hummingbird making a dash for the bushes.

This Anna's hummingbird was perched, but briefly spread its wings.

Spotted this little one in a friends garden yesterday.

Every year, we get a lot of them on their way to migration...I can never get enough watching them, and, what else....taking tones of pictures. I have 4-6 feeders out there, and have to fill them twice a day..but I don't mind at all.

Hope you like this pic of my captures. Oh, the blueish look on the wing and the beak..came this way out of the camera. Don't know how this happened....

 

Thanks for taking the time to stop by, and have a great weekend.

The annual Hummingbird Festival at Strawberry Plains Audubon Center begins Friday, September 8, and runs through Sunday, September 10. This is a festival featuring numerous speakers on a myriad of topics. Hummingbird banding is a huge treat for the visitors.

Handsome Anna's male Hummingbird in Arizona, US. Cold, cloudy, rainy.

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.

Hummingbird enjoying the feeder

New arrival. This hummingbird preferred the red feeder. I have two feeders out; both with sugar/water mixture. Ruby-throated Hummingbird - Morgan County, Alabama - 2017

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.

This little one, and I really mean little one, came totally by surprise to get some food for the night. She is no more than maybe 6 cm, but made my day like she was the biggest star on Earth :)

Female Anna's Hummingbird. Anna's hummingbirds are the only hummingbirds to spend the winter in northern climates.

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.
