Allen's Hummingbird


These photos were all taken today in my backyard. All photos are of the same bird, an Allen's hummingbird. He is the "boss bird" when it comes to on of the four feeders I have in my garden. As you can see, from various angles, the color of his feathers change radically as the light is refracted differently. Don't be taken in by this cute little bird as he's very aggressive about defending his feeder. His report card reads: Does not play well with others or like to share.
