Let's see some hummingbirds

A couple of Anna's Hummingbirds photos, one with a hungry bee.

Here's mine

Second shot is same time and place, just different angle.

The first time I really knew the RX10 IV made a huge difference.

Male Anna's looking right at me.

Great thread idea. Thanks for starting it.

Last summer, I spent some time in the white mountains and just happened upon a roadside patch of firecracker penstemon where rufous hummingbirds were feeding.

Fading light and too short of a lens. Either Anna's or rufous (Seattle, late March)

I believe this is an Anna's hummingbird (please correct if wrong). I see them around the Guadalupe River in San Jose, CA.

It is, and a beautiful male Anna. Tact sharp on the eye and nice to see in its natural environment, rather than a staged feeder shot!

Moth identifying as a hummingbird:

It's a Hummingbird hawk-moth seen on Sicily

Love the first shot with the seemingly translucent wings.

Edit: Hmm, I can quote without including the post, but there appears to be no reference back to the quoted post. Progress of sorts I guess.

Here's another shot of the same guy, from the rear. It's not quite sharp but I'm still pretty happy with it.

Here are a Broad-billed and a Violet-crowned hummingbird.
