Your state of Louisiana has up to 15 hummingbird species each winter...in people's backyards. There are people who band the hummers - and these "vagrants" from the west coast, rocky mountains and even Central America return to the same backyards sometimes for several years in a row. How is this known? People band the hummers...and you can get a sense of what species are where by reading this listserv:

Birdie, I am glad the dot sight works out for you as it does for me. The first two images stand out for me although they all are wonderful. YGMV!

Joshua

Thanks Joshua. Probably not what most use it for, but it helps.

These are all excellent images (as per usual), but the second one is extraordinary. The red glow on the bird is something I have never seen. It really unifies the image of the bird and the blossom.

Dave

Thanks Dave, glad you like it.

Excellent set Birdie, #2 is my pick, looks like there is a red light bulb in the flower reflecting on the Hummingbird

Raz

Thanks Raz. The sun was hitting the flower just right.

I haven't seen a hummingbird in a couple of weeks. Four days ago, a few migrants passed through and visited for a bit.
Haven't seen them today, so they may have headed on to another stop along the way.
