Found these Ana hummers drinking at a garden fountain. Poor guy has a wounded right wing.

Thanks Joe, Steve, Tom, Levina, Randi, DB, Matt and Guns. I've never seen this behavior at a fountain before. Went back and this time a couple of birds looked like they were bathing in the stream.

Great shots. But maybe next time you don't let the wing in #2 cover his face? you really need to work on your timing..... ;)

Wow these are just spectacular :D I love the first one with the pink reflections in the droplets. Also I love #3 it has a nice moody feel to it, really beautiful. In fact I just love them all. :)
