Female Rufous Hummingbird sipping nectar for Lunch!! by Debbie Meader Via Flickr: A female Rufous Hummingbird sipping nectar from our Mystic Spires flowers. This little female is covered in white pollen. I have noticed that the Mystic Spires and Black and Blue Salvia have white pollen. Photo taken in our backyard in Camas, Washington.

Good Afternoon Pretty Boy!! by Debbie Meader Via Flickr: Flash, Jr., giving me a hover to show off his gorgeous gorget! Flash, Jr., is one of our resident male Anna's Hummingbirds. I love it when he turns his head in just the right light to see his stunning iridescent feathers. Photo taken in our backyard in Camas, Washington.

Where did all the birds go!!! by Debbie Meader Via Flickr: I was watering our potted flowers on our back deck, when I heard a loud flapping of feathers. I looked into our backyard and all of our backyard birds were diving for cover in our Rosy Glow bushes, and a Immature Cooper's Hawk landed on one of our fence posts. He was intently searching the yard for movement, but all of his prey had taken cover and they were very quiet. Photo taken in our backyard in Camas, Washington.
