Last year we planted this cardinal climber vine to attract the hummingbirds. Although it's an annual, by the end of fall we had a ton of little plants coming up from dropped seeds. It will be interesting to see if the seeds make it through the winter to make plants this year. If they don't I won't get another plant because it got a bit invasive.
This juvenile male hummer was taking issue with the butterflies in the garden the other night. They really seemed to freak him out.

Just fliting around the bouganvillea the hummingbirds must nest somewhere near. They are always curious about when you invade their territory (once they get over being scared). They hover just out of reach and dart around (making it hard to get a picture) while making a high pitched chirp.
By doing some research, I discovered that this is a female Ruby-throated hummingbird.
These are fast and flighty little buggers! ISO (light-sensitivity) 3200, shutter speed 1/1250 of a second, and full zoom on my 250mm lens and still cropped in a good bit. Again, I said they were flighty.
at Magic Wings - A female hummingbird.
The story from a worker was that she flew into the window and they nursed her back to health, let her go in with all the butterflies - then a male hummingbird sneaked in and now they have a nest with eggs. cute story if its true.

This buff-tailed hummingbird / colibrí colihabano was
photographed at Balcón Tumpiki, Nanegalito Ecuador
This photograph was obtained at a facility with no wildlife in captivity. Some birds, mammals, and insects were drawn within photographic range by the provision of various carefully maintained foods appropriate to the species and habitat. Natural foods were also abundantly available in the area within and around the facility.
