Bullock's Oriole (female)

This was a rare sighting for me. She came and investigated the feeder area for a few minutes and then she was off, and I haven't seen her since. Next summer I'll leave some fruit out and maybe she'll stick around.

Black-chinned Hummingbird (female)

We recognize the Black-chinned hummingbirds right away because their tails pump up and down while they hover.

Black-chinned Hummingbird (male)

No mistaking this guy! We had a lot of females at the feeder, but only one or two males. -Amy

I LOVE this little guy! -Kennedy

Rufous Hummingbird (female)

If she hadn't turned slightly toward me for this shot, I wouldn't have noticed the orange-red spot on her throat that helped me identify her.
