I've had a couple of hummingbirds at my feeders the last few days. They are either females or immature males.

I have this hummingbird feeder in my backyard, but I haven't been able to attract hummingbirds to it. So I decided to go online and read about them.
The stuff I read said that hummingbirds are attracted to the color red, so I took some Christmas ribbon and wrapped it around the feeder. I also cut little pieces and attached them to the feeder under each flower. Still, nothing. So today, I dumped out the sugar water in the feeder and made some new food, using twice as much sugar as I had been using. I took the feeder out and rehung it. Within two minutes, this little beauty was drinking from it. If you look really close, you can see her tongue. I believe this to be a female Anna's Hummingbird.
So, I have a hummingbird friend now. I think I'll call her Flash. I'm sure there will be many more shots of Flash in the coming days.

I stood still and he slowly worked his way toward me. He was well camouflaged with the bushes in the area. Riparian Preserve, Gilbert Arizona.
These shots were all taken in the garden. It was a family weekend at a summer cottage we visit from time to time. Along with chasing the children around the garden, I attempted some shots of this strange looking fellow!
There are published reports* of praying mantises catching and killing hummingbirds. This one moved from a potted Marigold on the porch up to the hummingbird feeder and stalked the birds for days without success. You can watch a video of it in slow motion taking a swipe at the hummingbird on YouTube: youtu.be/qCamLBHCy5I
