Thanx for viewing. The story goes that the hummers moved North from So. Cal in the 1960s. They followed feeders up the coast! The Anna’s images posted are of residents I believe.

Caught a few birds on the trees and on feeders. All Anna's as far as I can tell. Probably resident birds although the migratory birds are still moving through.

Note our new feeder. Tank is below the feeding ports, not above. This helps to prevent the mold that develops around sugar water. As I understand it, the mold blocks nectar from going down the bird's throats, killing them. A large feeder is on the way to replace the top-tank models we have been using.

Finally caught a couple of birds with both the red head and green back! While I was quite close, the images still required some cropping. Minimal pp. D500, 500PF, 1/1600, f 5.6, ISO between 900 and 3200. No EV.
BTW: the female Anna's shot has what might look like a blown spot on the red feeder. It is not blown! Just shiny! I have taken a cell phone shot of my screen with the image and histogram. I will send it if asked!

The birds in the trees shots do have some branches and needles and leaves in the way. The hummingbirds perch some ways back in the trees. Moving for a better shot usually results in the birds flying off.

Downloads tell the tale.

Enjoy!
