Since building a small waterfall and pool system off my back patio I have had a pair using it for drinking and bathing. ID'ed them as "Anna's" hummingbirds. I have a couple of shots of one of them dipping in the waterfall but I was using a polarized lens and ISO 800 to capture enough light and the photo came out a bit grainy. This one worked out better as the female stopped on a fence one evening to groom and the light worked out pretty good. A crop of the previous photo: RC Last edited by Tuffcity; 05/28/15.
