I'm pretty sure that this is a female ruby-throated hummingbird.
I'm wondering if you all will tire of the hummingbird pics before the excitement wears off for *me*!!!? I'm having such a wonderful time with them...and the grandkids are totally charmed and fascinated - are learning about them right along with me - very quick to point out the lack of red on the throat of this one - and excited by the bright spot of red on another (yet to be posted) of a "jubinul boy"... ;-)

It must be mating season because this little guy was going crazy with his call and flashing of those throat feathers! It was a pretty amazing site to see considering he was just on a bush to the left of the trail, almost too close for my 6ft minimum focusing distance! And he stayed around for a few minutes, I have never seen a hummingbird this close up, and not flying!
Seen at Crystal Cove State Park, California, on the way down to the beach
