Close-in humming

The rufous hummingbirds that arrived last week have not been around today. This male Anna's is a younger guy than my buddy Jim.

He's not wild about me hanging around the feeders but doesn't challenge me the way Jim would.

I had a chance to catch a few images of the nightly mega-feeding before it got too dark to see where he landed in the tree.

Ok, the last one is not a bird. I couldn't resist the glistening droplets on my new African daisy. The hummers might not pay attention to them but the butterflies will like them.
