WESTERN STATES HUMMINGBIRDS VOL. 14

Please enjoy the photos in our last thread http://davesgarden.com/community/forums/t/1166492/

I'll start off with some of my Anna's.

Another female..

Another...

My Red Yuccas are finally blooming-the hummers and orioles love them.

So pretty, duc.

Those little ones are delightful to see! Thanks Duc, hello Margaret.

Wonderful shots duc!
Thanks for starting the new thread.

Getting a little more hummer activity. At least four.

Looks like they are all Rufous.

Good shots adel!

Great shots Adel. Great job with the in-flight motion. Glad you're enjoying the Rufous'. I'm still at about 8-10 Anna's here and sure miss the Rufous'.

They're all so darling! Nice photos Adel and Duc.

Swan dive

Touch down (can't tell if it is an Allen's or a Rufous.

Love the swan dive, adel.

Adel, that 'Swan dive' he has his tongue sticking out too. What's a great capture. Wished my camera can capture photos like it.

Adel, great shot of the swan dive-those are hard to get. The only real way to tell if you and I are seeing an Allen's is to check the spread out tail besides the green on the back (which could also be a younger Rufous so the tail is the only true test). The Allen's have very narrow, pinlike outer tail feathers where the Rufous' are much wider at the end of the tail.

Here's a young Anna's that was watching for an attack.

I was excited to find two Rufous hummers at my feeder this morning. Still trying to catch a photo of them. The rain brought lots more hummers to my feeders-at least 15 or more! I'm still hoping more will arrive. Here's one feeder.

This male Anna's looked upset.

Shaking off the the raindrops.

Another one.

From a few days ago.

Wonderful shots duc!

That group shot looks like they are having quite the water cooler conversation.

How delightful the view. Duc, wonderful photos!

Wonderful, duc. I love the one where it's shaking off the raindrops.

My hummers are continuing to enjoy the fountains early in the morning.

This Anna's had a feather caught on her toenail.

The photo didn't come through, I'll try again.

A regular visitor to the tabletop.

The Texas Red Yucca blooms are really attracting the hummers.

A couple Rufous hummers showed up early for the blooms too.

Duc, those are some gorgeous shots!

I love the tabletop pic! Great job on them all duc!

An Anna's enjoying the pollen in the blooms.

I liked the eye peeking over the wing in this one.

One of my favorites.

A bunch of them....
