Pair of Anna's Hummingbirds!

Note exquisite plumage, but also cobweb strand from beak to forehead. Must have swooping through branches.
Such poise. I frequently assume such an attitude before a snack.
This sequence of the male is to show how the structure of the gorget and head feathers causes delightful refraction of light. Pity it's been so grey, of late....

Can't be sticking his tongue out at me. Must be cleaning beak


Good colour changes, eh?
