I got more photos of this fellow because he spends all his time chasing the others away or sitting at the feeder waiting for another to arrive so he can chase them away. Pretty typical hummingbird drama. With the sun angle just rite the red feathers on his neck really light up.

2 different clips. 1st half is I believe it's a juvenile male, since his whole throat isn't all red yet. 2nd clip is the female. Not sure if this is the same one in my last video.
Turn the volume on you can hear their buzzing around :)
This is my first Hummingbird photo of 2019. I have see a couple of other Hummingbirds but not when I had a camera in hand.
I was sitting on my front porch looking at my neighbor's flowers when this little bird showed up. The lighting is of little help in determining whether it is male or female. A Ruby-throated Hummingbird's throat is ruby only if it's male and the light hits it just right.

Spent the day near Millet again and thank you to Greg and Marie for thier hospitality. Don Delaney and I had a great time working on some of the 25+ species that have been seen there.
Lighting wasn't on my side with these shots. Ideally I would have been outside. unfortunately I was inside as so had to use a high ISO to obtain the fast shutter speed.
the hummers have started to fledge which makes my 4 feeders very busy .. this little one is just taking a rest and waiting for her turn ...
