There wasn't much sun this day but you can see some color on this immature hummer. This is a small solar fountain and the birds love it.

A gem, Vicki!!! Love those water pearls!!! Another real breathtaking action freeze shot!!! tfs.
 
Excellent action/behaviour image, Vicki; shutter speed works well for the water droplets

This is such a great stop-action image Vicki. Beautifully and expertly captured.
 
Not nice from you to mock the hummingbird with your remote controlled fountain. LOL. Wonderfully timed close-up.
The pecker is still around at the moment. I can hear his call. Guess he is not dirty because he found out that getting seeds from my feeding place is much cleaner. LOL.
Another fact is that the birds eat more seeds at the moment than in winter.
Probably the wet conditions this month.
 
Brilliantly timed and well detailed capture you have of this little beauty Vicki, well done.
