I hope this will work. Here's the link to my Gallery of Miscellaneous Hummingbirds.
I was fortunate enough to get the Green-breasted Mango in Dublin, Georgia. Most of these are Western Hummingbird Pictures from some of my trips. I hope you enjoy them.

Those are some great shots. We only have 1 type of hummingbird up here in Michigan.

Thanks. We only have one consistent Hummingbird in Georgia. That is the Ruby-throated Hummingbird. But we have winter visitors. The Rufous, Calliope and Green-breasted Mango were in Georgia. Most of the others were in Southeast Arizona or New Mexico.Have a blessed day.

Very beautiful photos, we don't get any humming birds where I live.

Do you put out Feeders. I know this year it took them longer to get to the Feeders.
They prefer insects and Natural Flower Nectar. But when they showed up they were in pretty good numbers. They stay here until late October and then Migrate to South America. But if you leave the feeders up through winter, you could get a rare Hummingbird. I guess Atlanta is a more suitable climate. But they had a rare Green-Breasted Mango in Wisconsin. Glad you enjoyed seeing the Hummers.

 My grand parents had a hummer (the bird, not the SUV) stay through the winter at their house in Washington.

Yes, I do put out feeders but we mainly attract-bluejays, and finches. We do not see the hummingbird around here. But I love to watch and see different birds. You have captured really well !

Thanks Melody. Most of the pictures are at places other than my house. I follow the Rare Bird Alerts and Georgia Birders On line to find these places. It's a great way to find wonderful Bird habitats.

Thanks and have a blessed day

Hey Scotty! Do you know what kind of Hummer it was. The key is for them to stay until March or so. Then you will see their full Breeding Plumage. Some of those Western Hummers are gorgeous. Well, the Eastern ones are too. Especially the Rufous. It take patience and work to keep the Feeders full of nectar but it can pay off in the long run.

Good Birding & may the LORD bless & Keep you.

What wonderful birds.  They really are beautiful.

They are tiny little creatures that pack Dyanamite. They go after each other with such diligence and can stop on a dime. They will sometimes stop in front of my face to check me out. But they really put on a show. Thanks for your comments and have a blessed day.
