Rufous Hummingbird, female

Thanks Falcon.

They are a riot. Chase, fight and then sit down and drink together. I did a video of my hummer photos with music and will post it when I figure how to do it.
 

Beautiful photo LoneRogue, thanks for posting it! We don't see many hummingbirds by our house, but when we go camping in the woods we see a lot more of them. They seem to be attracted to the red lenses of our rear truck lights, love to see them, so many beautiful colors!

I planted a few plants that hummers feed on and there has always been one or two in my since I planted them. I think mine is a female, does not have the neon colors of the males. Her favorite is the Chuparosa.
 
I’ve never seen a humming bird I can just imagine how beautiful they are .
I live in fairly dry farming area in South Australia. I will have to look up if Australia actually has humming birds
 
I'm on the east coast but so far everyone who has seen this yellow hummingbird in this thread is from the west. Must be a western thing. Beautiful photo!
 
Thank you SeaBreeze. All feeders are red and I guess it is the dominant color of flowers they feed upon. I expect that if you put a feeder out with a 3 part water and one part sugar they would find you.
 
All my bird guides are for the West coast so I can't check it out but I had thought that hummers were throughout the America's (north and south). Thank you.

Yes, I think they are too but I was referring to yellow ones as shown in your photograph. I've never seen one with those colors.
 
Before I moved to my condo I had tons of them at my feeders. Have never seen them here at the complex. Buildings are too close together. Sure miss them.
 
That is a stunning closeup. As I understand from reading the feathers allow us to see varied colors as the angle to the sun or light source chances. I that a photo that you took?
 
I love to watch hummingbirds but have never seen a yellow one.
Thanks for the pictures LoneRogue and Keesha.
