Not the world’s best pic of this little guy, above, but he is a male Black-Chinned Hummingbird, unlike the Anna’s that frequent our yard. He is also a lifer. If the sun hits him just right, he has a little collar of purple at the bottom part of the black area. He seriously knows when I have my camera and refuses to cooperate.

These guys apparently have nests all around and are very raucous right now, dive-bombing the cats (who keep away from them and really don’t bother any of the birds) and chattering all day and night.
