Feeder action

Wow, only two postings and I've already slowed down. Sigh.

The hummingbird feeders at the station are always a source of amusement and photo ops. About 3 species are commonly seen at the feeders, with a few other rare ones. Here are a few shots, enjoy
A black-chinned male

A blue-throated female (I think...)

A trio. Two black-chinned males, and a black chinned females (the females are the species that I have worked with in the past, and that Denise and I will be working on for this field season)
A magnificent hummingbird (male); can't really see it in the photo but they are a bright turquoise and blue. Very handsome. This one is pretty concerned with the other hummingbirds that are interested in stealing his sugar water

Awesome shots Chris! It looks really amazing there and you must be being pretty darn patient to be getting these pics!
How are the night shots going? How's it going overall?
