I'm guessing this is an Allen's hummingbird.

Absolutely beautiful photography. You cannot believe how often my wife has to refill the feeder for them. There is one chubby character that guards the feeder for himself. Chases the others away. It is so entertaining to watch them.

Thanks,

Tony
They are very entertaining. The bird in the picture is the bully at my feeder. He seems to spend more time chasing others than eating. Thanks!

Beautiful bird!

We just put out a hummingbird feeder. I was skeptical, thought, "There's no hummingbirds around here!"

Within 5 minutes we had a ruby-throated feeding on it... I was stunned!
