Redbeard (Selasphorus sasin)

Today's shot of the same Allen's hummer. He was doing his display swings - big U-shaped loops in the clearing, up to tree-top hight and down to just above the shrub-tops - then landing to rest either on the tip of a tree branch (as in the first two shots I posted of him, when he landed in the tree under which I was sitting) or on this tip of a bare raspberry cane.

Three great shots Ann. Well done catching this little guy's gorget coloring.
Sorry I was slow answering your question-yes, our lake (Clear Lake) was full as of last Monday. Yahoo!
