My shot of the day today taken at 7 pm, the light was almost gone my ISO was climbing to up to 800. Handheld I used a wire fence to help stabilize, shot at 1/80 sec.
Anna's Hummingbird
I don't believe the Anna's are excited to see the Rufous back but they manage to hold their own. This little gem was in the heart of the Rufous newly claimed terriory.
Anna's Hummingbird juvenile
Still working on its colours, by next spring he will be be flashy and gorgeous. This wonderful little guy landed beside me, I think he is a bit of a camera ham :)
A Fiesty Anna's male
A few days of sun and these little Anna's Hummingbirds are all fired up about territory. As we walked the path he took a run at us four times prior to perching and giving us a hissy song. Got to love a break in the weather!

Anna's Hummingbird Juvenile male
He still had a bit of breakfast snacks on his bill, unidentified bugs. Thank goodness for the bird world or we would have a huge bug problem.
I have been watching this young male develop his colours over the past few weeks.

As I was standing in a field searching for an owl when I had a very unexpected encounter with this Anna's today. He landed close by watched me for a few minutes took off then returned this went on for an hour, what a treat!
