Time to start over with lots more pretty photos of our hummers. Hope you will all go back and enjoy the last photos in Vol. 3-

I took these photos through the window so they're not the best. My Anna's and a Rufous.
Another one.
This little Anna's lady was just about to take off.
Another one enjoying the early morning shower in the tabletop fountain.
oh Wow! I would just love to see both of the hummers; the anna's and the rufous! I love the 3rd photo. Excellent shot! Very nice!
I got a first look at... I think the male black-chinned hummingbird yesterday. I decided to use sugar water instead of the nectar in the feeders, and all three of the hummingbirds showed up, and kept coming back until their bedtime. We have 4 hummingbird feeders though because they fought over the one we just had up before. Good thing your hummers all share:)
a different shot
Love the shower picture, Duc. How in the world do you find the rufous and the Anna's at the same feeder at the same time? I know it can't be that common an occurrence. My hummers don't even share amongst themselves in the same species.
Wonderful shots guys!!
Duc, Thanks for starting the new thread.
yeah, you must have some Gooooood stuff in that feeder!
Nice Shot's All! Love the fountain shot duc. :)
Thanks for the new thread, Duc
8 to 12 and more hummers!
I'm happy for a couple but I do have the
chairs out, just in case.
pretty water shot,
I was watering bell peppers early this morning
and one was using its leaf as a bathing tub,
naturally I over watered that one.
This one shooed the others away and this wire must
be the prize position to be on.
and peek a boo,
and good night.
Enjoying a delphy.
Nice black chin Teresa, and nice feeder.

Sweet pics dirt!
Awww, I love that picture dirt. Peek a boo, how cute :|)
Teresa, I love your Black-chinned photos and that feeder is so pretty. I had a Blk-chinned here for the first time last month, but it just stayed a couple weeks-pretty birds!
Dirt, that "peek" photo is adorable! The hummers love bathing in the wet leaves of the shrubs at our house. They look so cute when they scrunch down on the wet leaf then fly to a trellis and shake off the water. My hubby loves it when he's sprinkling the lawn and the hummers fly through the water right up to the nozzle. Love the delphs too!
One of my show-off girls. Think she loves to pose and hear the click of the camera.
All my hummers fight constantly, the Rufous are just a little more agressive than the Anna's though. They all have to fight for a spot on the feeders with so many baby Orioles still here. These two photos are a first for us in 6 years that we've been here.
The hummers have never been able to drink at the same time the Orioles are too-until now.
Okay, we'll share.... I'd say it's because they're both younger birds and don't know any better, except that this is an adult male Anna's (the other photo is a female).

Oh that is just the neatest thing I've ever seen duc! I am so glad you got to capture that, and share it. I guess they were both really hungry. Nice picture. That's so... not odd, but different from what you'd expect them to do. You'd think the hummer would fly away. Very intriging picture.
Those are cool pics duc! I would think it was Christmas if I saw that.
That's very cool, Duc - peaceful co-existance as long as you are on the other side.
The closest I think I got was today's pic of two birds watching this idiot take their picture!
"What's he doing and what does he mean don't move till I get this thing in focus."
Anna in the A.M. on the wire.
The sun comes out and Rufuos's turn.
And in Fuchsia heaven.
hmmmm. lets try some delphinia
and checking the place out after watering
get the soap and towel and take a bath on a delphy leaf
that made me hungry for some hyssop
and for dessert,
a wee bit of crocosmia,
there is only a wee bit its not even open all the way.
oh there's a couple thats open,
gotta stretch and bend and think I could almost reach in.
and I'm satisfied and its sortof late and gotta run.
good night.
and Pelle, thank you for all of your support and guidance,
Beautiful pics dirt! so many nice plants. Love the fuchsia too!
Great pictures Dirt!! My Crocosmia is just now opening, but I haven't seen a hummer near it yet. Love that fuchsia shot-I can imagine all the hummers will be thinking they're in heaven with all those blooms!! Your garden is perfect for attracting the hummers-beautiful blooms!
One of my male Anna's.
This hummer was enjoying the red Yucca blooms in the sun.
Very nice series of photos, Dirt.
Duc, that hummer looks like he's taking a ride on a swing.
