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 busiest time for watching hummingbirds as all the immatures are challenging each of the dominant males "feeders" Each feeder of the six I have out is guarded all day by a dominant male and the aerial battles are incredible to watch. The older males will leave around Labor day the the "new" males will have a month to defend their feeders and learn the dominance over the others.

The smallest hummingbird within its range, is found only in the mountains of Costa Rica and western Panama.
Feisty little birds. Male Anna's hummingbird. Interestingly (at least to me) the feathers of that red gorget don't actually have any pigment at all. They're iridescent. The surface of the feathers have tiny bubbles that reflect some wavelengths of light, and absorb others. In the case of the Anna's hummingbird, the gorget reflects red and the body feathers reflect green. Nature is pretty cool

Amazilia yucatanensis
This mainly Mexican species may be found among dense tangled thickets and vines in light, open woodlands. It also feeds on flowers in gardens. Unlike most other hummers north of Mexico, the sexes are alike in color. It usually leaves the Rio Grande area in winter and retires southward into adjacent Mexico until the following spring. It is probably the least-studied hummingbird that regularly occurs in the United States.
