A couple hummers

I'd have pictures of a lot more hummingbirds today if it wasn't for this male Anna's. He chases all others from the yard They fly through, but don't get a chance to stop.

5DIII + 70-200 f/4L IS. In-flight pics are from about 4'. The perched from about 6'.

1. His head/neck feathers aren't as bright as most other Anna's; his are more orangeish with kind of a dusky patina. Maybe it's time for a good molt.

If that's your Arnold Schwartzenegger impersonation, it needs work.

very nice- great subject

Nice captures of such a wonderful subject! Do you have these birds all year round? The ruby throats I have here are much more tolerant of each others presence the few weeks prior to migrating south.

Costa's all year. Anna's most of the year, except for a couple months in the winter. Black-chinned only from late Spring through mid-Summer. I've seen Rufous only two or three times since we've been in Vegas (22 years).

Great set of captures Moose.

Beautiful, clear shots, Moose! FOUR kinds of hummers? Geez!

Great shots.!!

Wonderful set of shots Moose.

Thank you all for the comments

You should hear it Moose...not too shabby....trust me.....it's not a tumor.....hasta la vista baby.....

Moose you have fine captures and great light, perhaps too good.

You need more separation of the hummer from the background. I did two redos. Just another way of looking at it.

I will remove if you wish.

Well done Moose.

Nicely done, Moose.
