Beatty's Guest Ranch with Flickr friend (and now real friend) Barbara & John Robeson. There seemed to be lots of Broad-tailed Hummingbirds buzzing around.

My DH's grandparents have several bird feeders outside their house, and, after a LOT of patience, was able to capture this beautiful hummingbird. (Out of both hummingbird pictures, I think this is my favorite -- it's eating from the feeder!)
These are a couple of my little hummingbirds that haven't migrated south yet.
I've been away again and hope to catch up with everyone soon.

In courtship, the male attracts the female with an aerial display. He dives close to a female, his feathers making a loud whining sound near the bottom of an oval trajectory. Rufous Hummingbirds are highly territorial, defending feeding territories not only while breeding but also during migration. Rufous Hummingbirds do not sing but make warning chips in response to perceived threats. Their wings make a whine much like the sound of a cicada.
