A territorial Hummingbird has claimed our feeder, and is constantly defending it from at least two others. More shots below, my back yard.
I'm calling most of these Female Rufous Hummingbirds, though one might be a juvenile male Allen's, based on the amount of "5 o'clock shadow" and touch of color in the gorget. Christopher Vincent, owner of WOWArizona, reports Allen's Hummingbirds present, but the ID is so difficult to distinguish from female Rufous.

Photos of a late afternoon spent with a large charm of hummingbirds. It was one of the coolest bird-related experiences I've ever had.
Make sure to jump to my youtube to see a super-slow motion close-up of the birds in flight and visit virtualwayfarer.com for more background.
