These are my first photos of any hummingbird and to say I'm amazed they turned out so well is an understatement.
The smallest breeding bird in the US. This beautiful male was spotted by Ronda and Eileen at the Botanical Gardens in Grand Junction, and I had to go check it out!

Please do not leave any notes on my images.
Four little hummingbirds sucking up nectar from the feeder and not minding me standing with them taking photos. Of course, I couldn't keep my eye on the chicken on the bar-b-que and it got pretty toasted. But worth it for the entertainment factor.
Mr. HelloYarn got all David Attenborough on the hummingbirds today and waited until they bravely came near to drink so he could take photos.
They're funny little buggers, starting fights with each other and hogging the food.
This is the little hummingbird I saved a couple of days ago.
The Story behind this photo:
Yesterday morn I let our two cats out to let them eat in peace before letting the dogs out of their crates. After about a half an hour, I finally went to get the dogs. But I heard fluttering in the skylight on our back porch. The cats were watching intently & as I approached, I saw a tiny green hummingbird frantically beating himself against the top of the skylight. I grabbed up the cats, threw them in the garage. I went and got a kitchen chair and dish towel ... thinking that I might just throw it over the bird and capture him. But standing wobbly-legged on the chair, I decided that wasn't such a great idea after all. Then I got a bright idea. I remembered that there were some fallen branches out in our yard. So I grabbed a long stick with twigs on the end and ran back to the porch. I carefully stuck it up into the skylight where the poor bird was still fluttering away. Immediately, the exhausted hummer latched onto a twig & I slowly lowered him down and out over the railing. I placed the stick in the top of a rhododendron bush. He sat there for at least five minutes (while I happily photographed him) before flying away. Had I let the dogs out earlier, I would have never noticed that little hummer and surely he would dropped down out of sheer exhaustion and become a tasty morsel for one of my patient cats or a play toy for our dogs.
