Hummingbird, looks like a Bumble Bee :)

hummingbird from a different view, atop the water droplets from fountain. Reminds me of a bumble bee here :) Note the little dash of bright red iridescence on it's throat in this shot. Don't know if its an immature male or female.

thankyou for the info, Rufous from Calgary.

We had what I believe to be an Anna's hummer here a couple weeks ago, - it stayed here for about 2 weeks, but we haven't seen it feeding here lately.

thanks very much, Karen. It's always fun hearing "which" picture people enjoy most. It is cute. I like the "intense" look on its face, lol. Am not sure how I captured that one :)

thanks very much Mike and Don, am happy you like them. I still like your hummer shot best, Don, the one where she's pulling the "downy stuff" from the cattail/bullrushes.

thanks Carol, - you must be up early, and I haven't gone to bed yet, LOL. It is a different view of a hummer, and with the wing appearing wider, gives the impression of a bumble bee.
