This is my 1-2-17 shot of our local Anna's Hummingbird. He's been here for the
last 2 yrs guarding the feeders with a passion. The female is able to sneak in on
occasion, often enough to keep fed. There was a 2nd male that was rebuked to
the point he has moved on. It was entertaining to watch the confrontations
between the 2 males.
Nikon D800E, Tamron 150-600mm Lens @ 550mm, f/6.3, 1/80 sec, ISO 100.

I wonder if that's a black-chinned hummingbird. The male Anna's has a red cap.

Thank you for looking in DWU2
Yes it is the Anna's, the red only shows when the light is right. And unfortunately I didn't catch it right.
Her is a shot of the same bird at a different time. 6-8-15
