An olive green hummingbird sits on a branch against a pale blue sky. Its back is to the camera, but its head is turned to the side. Its sides and tail are a rust color. Its beak is long, black, and thin.
Per @robcrank68.bsky.social the #birdoftheday theme is #birdbutts. Here is a female #rufoushummingbird who pulled her feathers up to give a closer look. #birds #wildlifephotography #ECK
A small, orange-and-gold hummingbird perched on a thin wire, facing the camera with its iridescent throat gleaming and tail feathers fanned beneath it against a soft, pale background.

Thanks for another delightful theme Alan @alan678.bsky.social 😀🙏
I love it when I put a typo in a hashtag. Sigh.

That's better.
A male Rufus hummingbird hovers in front of a light green background. This bird is copper on its tail belly back and head. He has a ruby gorget with white underneath fading to a copper belly, and a smattering of green feathers on his crown. His piercing eye as well as his beak are black. His wings are moving so fast they’re not visible in this photo. You can just tell see the tips of his toes in front of out of his white vent just above his tail.

A male Rufous hummingbird in flight at the center bottom, he is pushing his long bill up into cascading pink currant blossoms, the winfs are blurry but the iridescent red throat and creamsicle orange & white body make the hummingbird pop against the green & pink currant bush & evergreen background.
Today a Rufous hummingbird is visiting the red flowering currants. #FlowerReport #Birds #RufousHummingbird

A female Rufous hummingbird hovers on a bright green background. She has a bright black eye and long black beak. She has a tiny red gorget that looks brown in this photo. She has brownish green freckles on her cheeks and emerald feathers speckle the back of her head and neck. Her body is copper with a white chest and throat. She’s moving so fast and wings are her feet are blurred. Her head is in perfect focus
POV: you moved a fraction and now you’re being evaluated by 3 grams of airborne judgment.

Happy New Week! Here is my Rufous hummingbird for today. I haven't seen one yet this year but they should be back soon! Love them! I hope you have a great week and thank you for your kindness 😊💕 #bainbridgeislandbirds #pacificnorthwestbirds #birdart 🪶 #rufoushummingbird
Every now and then, he forgets to project a terrifying, aggressive posture. It doesn't last long, this lapse in judgment... but he knows I saw it. And it makes him so mad.

When the world serves up a shit tsunami - basically, everyday - I find spending time watching the hummingbirds keeps me calm. Took about two weeks of daily work to get this one comfortable enough to hand feed. It's a process.

Like males of all species, the male rufous hummingbird compensates for his internal terror over an uncomfortable situation by trying to protect an aggressive facade.

See the look? The cock of the head? The full colors?
Total attitude.

set the #BirdOfTheDay theme as #constrast birds. Chose one of the littlest show-offs, a male Rufous Hummingbird.

#birdsky 🪶 a #rufoushummingbird and an #annashummingbird, being remarkably civil today and sharing the perch without fighting. Well, for a few minutes. After the crap this world has thrown at us the last few days, it's good to show down and cleanse the palate for a bit.
