Humming birds four kinds of them. · 06:49 PM

Usually after the rains, in the month of April we get a swarm of humming birds especially in this garden where Cactus flowers at a full bloom. This lasts about three weeks and attracts a lot of photographers because they get to shoot all kinds of humming birds at a close distance.

Thanks for posting.. terrific shots.

Very sharp and clear. I have been told that the resting shots, #1 are kinda rare.

Mostly the ruby throat is what we see here. You are lucky to have the variety.

Harish, I really hated to open this thread because I knew it would throw me into a deep depression. These are so good and I know I will never be able to capture the little beauties as well as you did. The whole series is fantastic.

Lovely photos! My favourite is the first one, how cute is that little one!

In Sweden we don't have humming birds, so it is really nice to se photos of them!

Harish, wonderful captures. The birds are sure active in your area, do you know if they then migrate or do they stick around during the year. thanks Bob

Thanks Bob.
Apparently only the Ruby Throats migrate as they do not tolerate the cold temps. very well like Annas and the Rufus.

Beautiful shots!

It's almost impossible to choose a favorite. All of these are beyond fantastics. Wow, so well done!
