Sunny hummingbird

This light colored bird fiercely defends one of the feeders, but it doesn't have a shiny throat so I can't tell if it is a young male or a female.

Lovely shot. Today we had a hummer come by here for about 5 seconds... my once-a-year sighting.

No matter which it is, this is a great capture. They are as tough as "junk yard dogs", as you know. thanks Bob

Well done - don't know either whether it's a male or female. We don't see those up here. Wish we did. Keep em' coming.
