Maven member Registered: 04/27/07 Posts: 120 Loc: California	Originally Posted By: AnnaStrophic That is a fantastic picture, Maven. How do you tell males from females, by the color? Yes, the females tend to be drab shades of brown, while the males are little feathery gems, greens and reds depending on species. The females are also quiet, whilst the males chide and rant constantly. Here are three shots of males, two different species native to the area. Based on behavir, I think the female was the mate of the unidentified male. Calliopes Possibly an Anna's--I haven't gotten a good id for this one.

The girls came right away (smart, of course...) This is a boy, although you can't tell, but I just like it for it's overall artistic value, not as a great hummer pic. It was interesting lighting. This is one of the (smart) girls. Just sittin' pretty... Funny looking hummer... LOL! Actually, a buzzer..; cool, huh? All pics taken "a mano", no tripod, Kodak 6490, on my deck, some through a window or door. Maven: That bottom one is most likely a ruby-throated. She looks just like all my girls, and they're the only species we get here!

BranShea Carpal Tunnel Registered: 06/23/06 Posts: 5249 Loc: Netherlands, the Hague	Of course Ahem is a pretty mysterious comment , but if you might mean some hummingbirds come larger than life size, I can only think of the fact that everything in the Americas is double sized. I remember some giant cinnamon buns.
