Obnoxious, tenacious, territorial, noisy, little birds LOL. But fun to watch! That would be hummingbirds. See the little critter?

Here is a close up, he was making sure the Rufus male would not come to the feeder, and would lie in wait for him and chase him off, over and over!

I finally I.D.ed him. He is an Anna's Hummingbird, known for their talking and territorial ways LOL.

Isnt he beautiful, feisty little feather ball. I figured out he is an Anna's because in the description it says they are the only ones with an all red head.



In darker light he looked black. The little white stripe behind his eye threw me off for a bit, until I searched enough websites and found a few with this stripe.

He looked and watched and waited. I set up the tripod so I could get some good close ups, and I am proud of myself, my closeups are a lot better than the websites I visited!

They are such characters, again that pretty red head.

Little brat!
I will have to put up another feeder now!

And this little one was interested in the hummers fighting or she has a nest in the tree, couldnt figure out which. She kept coming back and landing in the same spot, and the hummers left her alone.
She is three times the size of the hummer.

I couldnt figure out what she was, as I cant find my bird book. I thought she might be, at first a female goldfinch, but not sure, she has some yellow on her breast. But after looking them up she isnt. I like how she had the bug in her mouth. Females are so much harder to identify.
