A beautiful visitor

There are some interesting visitors that frequently visit us, out here in our neck of the woods.  Some, we can catch on camera.. clearly.. others, we haven't.  It could be from lack of effort.  It didn't take much to get a picture of these guys. 

My hummingbird feeder is outside my dining room window.  This one actually let me open the door (which is stiff) and lean outside the door to snap this picture:


If my research has taken me to the right information, this is a male rufous hummingbird.  For all those bird lovers who naturally know more than me, feel free to correct me if I am wrong :)

Mckenna got a hummingbird feeder for her birthday present which we hung a distance from the house.  I was working near it when I heard them. Besides the fact that I nearly got attacked by them, I did get an o.k. pic:




This one could be the same bird, but I love how this pic shows the vibrant yellow/orange on his throat.

Hope you enjoy these pics as much as I do EVERYTIME I look at them!
