For you folks starving for Hummer pictures!

It is still pretty lively at my place in Tacoma, WA. 3-4 fighting in the backyard feeder & two fighting for the front yard feeder. Wonder where the losers go?

This is the first time I've seen 2 at the feeder at the same time! Maybe tired of fighting all the time? If you look close at the first photo, you'll see two of them arguing. There was 4 of them at once, but I wasn't fast enough to capture it.

Forever watching his feeder!

 

This was taken at dusk. Won Editors Choice with it too here:

I'll post the activity going on it in the front yard later. Two different hummers there!

That is surely a Hummber fix.  Loved your photos.  I saw so few hummingbirds this year that your photos make up for it.  Thank you.

Ok, here are two shots from yesterday.

Two different hummers at the front yard feeder. A male and female.

And I found out where he is hiding way in the bushes...

Super pictures, Jack!  Are those "front yard" hummers Rufous or Allen's?

I don't see any brown on them so I think they are Anna's.

Jack, here is one of my favorites.  Talk about a peaceful look, this is it.

Finally caught my hummer in the act of catching a spider. Not a great photo, but better than none right?

He sure looked comical back in the bushes. Must be bad hair day. LOL

Better pictures coming later.
