These are cropped a little. The guy lookin over his shoulder was warning the rest to stay away from his feeder. Am hoping for a better lens in the near future. (100-400?)

Good captures of the hummers. The second bird has brownish plumage. Are they two different hummer species?

Thanks for the comments. Not sure about the species. I think the one that is a brownish gold is the male. He has a red neck( not seen in this picture). He would fly up into the trees and wait for others to come by, then would chase them away. I believe they are Rufous hummingbirds. Hope to have a 100-400 for next season.

Duane, was the female orangy underneath the wings or more of a buff color? She might be a Calliope but it is very difficult to tell from just this one pic (but her tail seems fairly short so I'm leaning towards Calliope).

Bea,
The female has an orangy tan color under the wings on the body. I have a few other pics, but can't tell much mor than that.
