Allens Hummingbird

I planted a couple sage plants outside my front window almost ten years ago knowing they would attract Hummingbirds.  I have enjoyed many years of consistent visits from the Hummingbirds, butterflies and bees.  It is such a calming and beautiful sight, to watch the hummingbirds hover over, going from one blossom to another, feeding and then perching for a little break.  They are amazing little birds, and VERY hard to photograph.  I was lucky today to have my camera handy, but I had to shoot through the window.  I will try to capture more before we move. :) I believe this is  female Allens Hummingbird, as her colors are not as bold and bright as the males. :) Also are a couple photos of a House Finch/Sparrow perched in our Crepe Myrtle Tree. Happy Spring! <3 Kim [gallery columns="1" size="large" type="rectangular" ids="1522,1519,1520,1521,1527,1528"]
