Most probably a Black-chinned Hummingbird. Nice shots.
Thanx for viewing. Our Ph. D in the forest biology of the Pacific Northwest believes they are probably this year’s fledgling Anna’s.

Very nice! Challenging targets. I wish there were some in my backyard that I could practice on :-)

I practice on the local small birds and insects. Here near Seattle we have Juncos and Twohees, sparrows and chickadees and others. And of course bees!
The birds in this sequence were caught at the temporary pond that forms when we water.
Here are a couple of recent shots-

You get an A +++ in my book. I love this speed demons. Can you share the equipment and iso, shutter and anything else to help me improve my pictures. Thank you

D500, Nikkor 200-500 f5.6. Tripod. 1/2000, f5.6, ISO between 500 and about 850. 500mm- should have backed it down to 480.
225 shots most were clear. 1/2500 might have been a better choice to freeze the wings.
Beautiful evening light. The birds paid special attention to the remaining wild sweet pea blooms. Lasted about ten minutes.

Thank you...this will really help me. I had taken many pictures of the hummingbirds, but the wings are hard to get. They always come up blurry. I will used your information to see what happens.

Here are a few more bird shots.
I live near to the Pacific Ocean-on the Puget Sound a bit South of Seattle. So many of my flying subjects are sea birds.

Again...you are the master all of them are great pictures. I really think birds are the hardest to picture since they move so fast. .
