First signs of a late spring in western British Columbia. Taken in our back yard in Nanaimo, BC.

The hummingbird fledges should be busy doing this sort of thing to build up their strength for a long journey south.

The hummingbirds are active and are frequenting the feeders at my daughters house much more than those at my house. That is a good excuse to go visit my grandchildren regularly and get some action shots at the same time. This young male has taken ownership of one feeder and dominates it when others try to drink from it. Hilarious to watch!

Some young hummingbirds

Are visiting my back yard

Soon they will fly south

I think that this is a young bird. It has a white cap.

Selasphorus flammula

This tiny Volcano Hummingbird delighted us on the last morning of our October Costa Rica trip. This one is a female and spent lots of time at these beautiful purple flowers, it was impossible to resist taking lots of photos.

I'm back and catching up! Can't wait to see all my Flickr friends new photos. We still have quite a few hummingbirds in our area.

Thanks so much for the faves and nice comments!

Magnificent Hummingbird

Eugenes fulgens

The admirable hummingbird or Talamanca hummingbird (Eugenes spectabilis) is a large hummingbird. Some taxonomic authorities, such as the International Ornithological Committee, split the magnificent hummingbird into two species, in which case the nominate fulgens is rename Rivoli's hummingbird, and spectabilis is named the admirable hummingbird. Other taxonomic authorities have not recognized the split. The admirable hummingbird's range is Costa Rica to Panama.

Change the name of the monotypic group Eugenes fulgens fulgens from Magnificent Hummingbird (Northern) to Magnificent Hummingbird (Rivoli’s).

Change the name of the monotypic group Eugenes fulgens spectabilis from Magnificent Hummingbird (Costa Rican) to Magnificent Hummingbird (Admirable).

I couldn't resist the opportunity to try and capture a hummingbird in flight whilst in St Lucia. However with so many plants in bloom and the speed with which these small birds travel it wasn't easy. This shot taken early in the morning of a female Antillean Crested Hummingbird was the best I could manage.

This hummingbird was run off by 2 others shortly after this was snapped out the window...nothing unusual about that.

We have started to see them over the past week or so.

Sue put up some newly acquired feeders today which now total 4. We found a super buy on them this morning at the local TSC. (Tractor Supply Store Canada)

They were quickly pressed into use.

Photographing hummingbirds in the shade, use single focus point and place on the eye, find bird that will stay in one place for a second or two, use camera with eight fps or faster, use a fast lens with a close focus distance, I use an extension tube to get down to eight feet from ten.
