1. Very pretty

I think I have seen some type of hummingbird in my garden, but never got close enough to get a good photo. Well if it is not a hummingbird it is a bird of about that size and with similar movements.

2. Now that you have captured him, take him to your nest to feed your babies.

3. That's a very trusting hummingbird.

And quite a beauty.

4. Looks to be an Allens female.

They live on the the West Coast from British Columbia through California. I've never seen one. Here in El Paso I get Broad Tails, but have never been able to get a good picture because I have to keep my feeders in the shade of my Giant Yuccas or it will evaporate away. I even trimmed of some of the dead branches to get a better view at sunse, but now have another drooping branch in the way. Trimming them is dangerous as they have sharp "Saw Teeth" on their brabches.
