If you sit by a Crocosmia Lucifer flower long enough, there's sure to be a hummingbird come by to sip from the gorgeous red flowers. An interesting fact - the reason hummingbirds are attracted to red flowers is because bees and other pollinators don't see the red and are attracted to other brighter coloured ones, therefore there is much more likelihood to be a greater abundance of syrup available in red ones.

Taken in the 'garden' at the Monteverde Skywalk we did
There were loads of them buzzing around us, all different types, great to see, but to be honest I much preferred seeing them in the wild.
I've seen more Rufous Hummingbirds this season than the previous 4 seasons combined. The numbers are probably the same, but I'm just now learning where to look.
Hummingbird hawk-moths are found in Britain during most of the summer.
They take their name from having similar feeding patterns to hummingbirds and also because they beat their wings so fast that they actually emit an audible "hum".
Eugenes spectabilis
Formerly Magnificent Hummingbird, but now split from the Rivoli's further north....
It is found in the mountains of Costa Rica and Panama.

Gift for my friend Sandy, who loves Anna's Hummingbirds. (Of course it's impossible to capture the wonder of a hummingbird's feathers!)

Calliope hummingbird (male) in flight near feeder. [4-5569]
This is the first time I have seen one of these colorful fellows. He was quite a bit smaller than the other hummingbirds that have been frequenting my yard (Anna's, rufous, Allen's, and black-chinned). My daughter suggested that it could be an "Elsa's hummingbird," since it looks a little like an Anna's hummingbird...
Thank you to Engilis Photos for confirming the identification.

Female or juvenile Allen's hummingbird (Selasphorus sasin) hovering near a feeder. This is the latest yard bully that tries to chase the other birds away from my feeders.
Additional observations from other photos of the same bird (not visible in this photo): (1) there are a few red feathers in the center of its gorget; (2) likely female based on green bands on its R2 tail feathers; and (3) distinguished from rufous hummingbird by lack of notched or pinched tip to R2 tail feather.
Lighting Info: Two Canon 540EZs at 1/32, ganged in a shoot-through umbrella from slightly above subject, camera right. Silver reflector (foil) below subject, camera left. SB-800 at 1/32 (-1/3) onto backdrop (fleece jacket). Phottix Strato II wireless triggers on the 540EZs. SB-800 in optical slave mode.

Thought would nip back and enjoy my images of Hummingbirds that I photographed last July/August and share with you.
This was when the rain came down, but that's another reason they call the area rain forest!!
the Hummingbird was sheltering under cover, but was still getting wet with me!
