Hummingbird count increasing, saw 5 today. Anyone know why I'm seeing only females? No males so far this year!

Natural light only, 60D + 70-300L

Nice shots, look closely and you will see that a lot of the "females" you are seeing right now are immature males, watch for "dots" of ruby red feathers to start appearing on more and more of them as the season progresses!

Just an "ole dog" trying to learn "new tricks"! helpful advice is always welcome!!
