I also have finally seen males the last couple of days. Attached is what I think is a juvenile male. He has one red dot (feather?) on his throat. Got a few of an adult male today, but out of focus. I use a Canon R6 with EF 100-400 II. This latest autofocus might be great for most stuff in motion, but it doesn't stand a chance against the birds on my feeders. Hummers, finches, woodpeckers...
We have 2 males and 3 females in our vicinity now. As Hummers are very territorial, one has taken over the feeder and chases all the rest away when they try to feed. He sits on our neighbor's fence that is about 15 ft. from the feeder, and goes after any other Hummer trying to get a drink at the feeder.
It's amazing, the acrobatic maneuvers these little flyers can do when they are chasing each other!
