As usual you nail the lighting and composition very well. Great tips to get the hummers if we can grow honey suckles in the Bay area.

Thank you very much, Sunny! My understanding is, the regular Honeysuckles can grow fast and unwieldy. The Cape Honeysuckles I planted is more easily “tamed” and can be “trained” as a small hedge if you plant several in a row. I am not a plant expert but I did look it up before planting it.
These are incredible. Honestly I don't know what to say that hasn't already been said. The color, sharpness and backgrounds are all over the top. Enjoyed these a lot, especially the rich colors. Thanks for warming up my cold, winters day.

Spectacular work Joshua. I'm often disappointed also when the males don't show up but you certainly took advantage of what you were given.
Gary
Gary, I really appreciate your kind words! I was out there this morning and yet, so far, the male is still MIA. I am still hoping but we will spend some time at my son’s place. I hope there will be more visitors when I come back.
The two species are Anna's Hummingbird (#2, #3, #5) and most likely Allen's Hummingbird. This time of year Black-chinned Hummingbird would be father south, and a female Black-chinned would show a white throat.
It can be very difficult to distinguish between female Allen's and Rufous Hummingbirds but Rufous ought to be farther south so it's likely that #1 and #4 are Allen's.

Thank you very much, Douglas! I also appreciate your IDing the hummers.
