Male Allen's Hummingbird.
I nearly always find this guy hanging out in the same spot on the same tree, but it's rare that I can get the right angle and light to get his throat colors to show like this.
He's so pretty - I'm sure all the lady hummingbirds are after him :-)
This Song Sparrow, on the other hand, was looking a little the worse for wear, but he's sure singing his little heart out!
And then there's my new bird for the day - the Western Wood Peewee. Not only a new bird, I think these Peewee photos are the best I've taken so far.
He kind of looks like someone shrank and bleached a Kingbird in the wash...much smaller in size and colors are paler.
But he's got that "I've got my eye on a tasty bug" look, along with a white area under his chin, and even a bit of yellow on his belly. Like a pocket-sized K-bird!

Oh my oh my!!! What a gorgeous little Hummer!!! I love the action shot of the Song Sparrow, they have such a beautiful song! And the Pewee, some of my favorite birds!! Very nice!!
A nice variety. I love the pretty hummer, I we saw them on the east coast. The Pewee is sweet! Wonderful birds and photos.
I find it so hard to look past the Hummers when they are around. Wonderful shots.
just awesome shots! such beauties of any size. :)
I love the way you have presented these gorgeous images of beautiful birds in this post.
I have a fondness for the little guys. there are great.
Nice series.
Beautiful little birds!
L love to see your North American hummers because of course we don't have any in the UK. That's nice shot of the Song Sparrow living up to its name too. But of course the neat little flycatcher stole the show. If it wasn't for all the many species of birds eating flies we'd be knee deep in them.
Great shots, Miss Kelly! I love the expressions on their tiny little faces! Enjoy the day. Erin
Great pictures of some beautiful birds!
Cute pewee! I LOVE the Eastern version of this bird, the ones I see here in Ontario. I see the western version is just as sweet. :)
