I Challenge You!

I Challenge You!
Dinnertime is a real showdown here with the male hummingbirds. He is definitely challenging another male for his territory as he flashes his bright colors.

I thought this was a Rufous hummingbird but after some research he looks more like an Allen's hummingbird

You can see my little videos of him here:

Terrific images Karen. What a beautiful bird. I have only ever seen pictures of hummingbirds and they were very different in colour so nice to see this different type here. I love the colours, like little jewels around his neck. Great videos too. Have a lovely evening and stay safe.

Thank you, Carol. :)

There are many different kinds. We mainly have the Anna's and the Rufous hummingbirds here but I just recently spotted this little chap and that was pretty exciting for a casual bird watcher like me. The colours are really vivid.

Hi Karen

This is so beautiful, and so well taken

Fantastic colours, and such a sharp focus on the little guy too..

Maybe the nicest picture I have seen tonight!

Best Wishes, a nice weekend, and stay safe!!
