Yes, that's a cute female Rufous (or an Allen's) Rarejem. Any way you could move the feeder closer to a window for photos?

Dirt, I never use the flash on my camera, unless I'm taking them as the sun goes down. I wait for the sun to shine on the feeders and birds.

Since our feeders are two floors up on the deck, I use the trees or lake below us for my background colors. I also just put out some strong tree limbs on the railing for more pictures in the future when I have more than nine hummers. I really think they love people's voices because we can walk by them and they ignore us.

After these high winds we've been having start calming down, I'll put more potted plants under the limbs to cover them more.
