A vacation week at a peaceful waterfront cottage in the La Peche region near Gatineau Park. The Ruby-throated Hummingbirds were a highlight of the stay. This male was coming in to feed.

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

Been trying to finish up some photos from the Spokane trip. This shot took forever, these little guys move so quick and every sound of shutter freaked them out.
We had to wait in a moderate line of cars to get into our destination, Wyalusing State Park on the southwestern edge of Wisconsin, and while we were waiting we noticed a hummingbird feeder hanging from the rafters of the entrance gate building. Robin chuckled and said, "You know, I never see hummingbirds using a hummingbird feeder." The God of Hummingbirds then picked that exact moment to laugh at Robin, as two hummingbirds flitted into the scene at that exact instant.
Hummingbirds are fast, and they were gone almost as soon as they appeared. But they kept coming back, giving me a chance to change out my camera lens and get a few pictures while we were waiting in traffic. Identification of these particular hummingbirds is complicated by the fact that the hummingbird on the right has a black throat. That would make me think that these are both black-chinned hummingbirds, except my bird book says Wisconsin is far north of a black-chinned hummingbird's range. The internet suggests they can find themselves in Wisconsin sometimes by accident, but I think it more likely that these are ruby-throated hummingbirds, female on the left and male on the right. The male's throat appears black, I suspect, simply because of the angle the light is hitting him. It's some sort of polarization trick.
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.
