Most hummingbird enthusiasts think the Anna’s hummingbird’s gorget is red, But It is dark and colorless. The intense bright color is iridescence and not colored pigment. Usually the gorget appears dark to bright red. However, when the light is just right, metallic golds, reds and magenta can flash from the Anna’s gorget and crown

This sequence of photos followed yesterday's photo. "The Hummer and the Brose," The Rufous Hummingbird got too close and the honey bee showed his ire by chasing him. There were another 8 photos omitted because they were similar to ones you see here. The distance traveled in the attack was about 2 feet and the chase lasted almost 2 seconds. The bee was the aggressor. I have seen many chases like this and the bee never stings. Yellowjackets on the other hand are bastards and the hummers know it; they flee the area at high speeds to avoid being stung.
