More gossamer wings, only I'm not sure who this is? Look at her belly!

Hummer is sticking out its tongue at me!

And he's doing it again!

Zoom feeding. I can see his wing. I guess having the umbrella in the background is helping show off details I miss when I'm sitting under that umbrella. LOL!

I can't believe I got this one!

Or this one.

Who is this scruffy looking bird? Can it be our Sweetie Pie?

Menifee, CA(Zone 9a)

Talk about territorial! Look at this!

Menifee, CA(Zone 9a)

I wasn't expecting this!

Or for it to continue long enough for this photo.

I think this little babe is Zippy, but seemed smaller, so I don't know for sure.

The first time this happened I thought it was an aberration. Now I'm beginning to wonder if they aren't mates.

Menifee, CA(Zone 9a)

Maybe not! LOL! They looked so shocked to see each other. SLOL!

Menifee, CA(Zone 9a)

They must have recognized each other.

They shared the feeder for quite some hummer time. Maybe a whole minute.

Who is this bird?

Menifee, CA(Zone 9a)

Sweethearts?

Dancing in the air.

Menifee, CA(Zone 9a)

Perched again. Are they sitting closer together?

Menifee, CA(Zone 9a)

In some respects I got to love this BCH.

Thumbnail by SingingWolf
Menifee, CA(Zone 9a)

Can't see the color in this view, but it's the same BCH.

Thumbnail by SingingWolf
Menifee, CA(Zone 9a)

Seems to me they are sitting closer. ^_^
They continued this behavior throughout the day.

Sweetie Pie flew by to wave again.

Menifee, CA(Zone 9a)

Then a BCH drove her away, he in turn was driven away by Zoom, who allowed this one to eat unmolested.

Menifee, CA(Zone 9a)

She approaches the feeder.

Thumbnail by SingingWolf
Menifee, CA(Zone 9a)

Wait, did I hear something?

Thumbnail by SingingWolf
Menifee, CA(Zone 9a)

Alarm? or Not?

Thumbnail by SingingWolf
Menifee, CA(Zone 9a)

Must not have been anything major, she started feeding.

Thumbnail by SingingWolf
Menifee, CA(Zone 9a)

I do believe Sweetie Pie is sticking her tongue out at me!

Thumbnail by SingingWolf
Menifee, CA(Zone 9a)

I like her wings in this photo of SP feeding.

Got to love the Trickster. I deleted about 20 photos to get this one of him.

Thumbnail by SingingWolf
Menifee, CA(Zone 9a)

I'm including this one, because it is so hard to get color on those BCH.

Thumbnail by SingingWolf
Menifee, CA(Zone 9a)

Here's the same BCH, do you see color? The sun has to hit their feathers at just the right angle. I specially remember this fellow because he was one that was chasing another down low, and almost took out my nose. It was hilarious. Almost fell out of my chair.

Another one sticking out his tongue at me.

Isn't Zoom magnificent?

Thumbnail by SingingWolf
Menifee, CA(Zone 9a)

A tilt of his head and now it's this color!

Thumbnail by SingingWolf
Menifee, CA(Zone 9a)

Another tilt of his head and it appears black. Go figure!

Thumbnail by SingingWolf
Menifee, CA(Zone 9a)

Zoom looks like a crazed hummer here. ^_^

Thumbnail by SingingWolf
Menifee, CA(Zone 9a)

I guess he was just hungry. He has curved his body almost into a circle. I wish I was that limber. LOL!
