Anna's HB tongue full-extension

Their tongues approximately twice the bill length, dart in and out about 13-20 times per second, so while we see the throat pumping and the nectar moving, seldom the tongue itself unless stopped by the lens. Here you can see the very tip behind the third petal and in front of the second petal...

Anna's HB & Lucifer flower

This a bit unusual that at it's perpendicular approach to the flower the tongue went completely past the petal center and shows. Also, note the right talon grasps a single unopened flower bud. I think it's a young, first-year male after looking at all the frames.

A good pollinator!

Yes, she's performing her solemn duty nature has assigned, to cross-pollinate the flowers, and of course the flowers reward her too. "Steve, you may have a quick look, and just keep that feeder filled!"

Anna's Hummingbird, female at Salvia

Could be the mate of the male I posted this week; though he only lets her have this barely-yet-blooming Salvia, while his plant is profuse... very greedy. We'll see what happens when "her plant" gets all of its flowers.. that'll keep him busy.

Anna's Hummingbird in low light, the beacon

I'm going to post a before and after of this frame just so all can see exactly the lighting that came into the camera. Amazing how this fella' can light up at will. This is with typical adjustment of light and contrast, you'll see it's not a lot.

Anna's Hummingbird in low light, glowing and glowering!

This guy, with his daily dive-bombing and chasing from "his" feeder, was clearly giving me the "stink-eye." It was amazing that with hardly any remaining light at 6:44 p.m., sunset at 8:11 p.m.; completely clouded and him facing nearly opposite the low clouded-over sun (him...

Anna's Hummingbird

Here's a story about the image. For some reason, I had my camera set on single shot, not my usual 8 frames per second. During the half second the bird was hovering in front of me, I lifted my camera, pressed the shutter once, and captured a single frame. This image was the result. The fact that...

Anna's Hummingbird

The smallest member of our family. The Anna's Humming bird. We named him Grumpy because he's always dominating the feeder and he lives here year round.

Anna's Hummingbird UCSC Arboretum California

The University of California Santa Cruz has this fabulous Arboretum with plants from all over the world. This section was alive with hummers. I stood amongst them, very still, and was able to get this shot. It was pretty exciting. There were probably 20-30 hummers within 5 feet of me.
