A tint hummingbird perches on a rose twig. It's a Calliope hummingbird - it has a creamy white breast edged with orange on the sides its head, wings, back and dots on its throat are iridescent green, it has a short straight beak. Its tail is shorter than its wings.

A Calliope hummingbird sits on a rose twig. We have no nesting Calliopes in Colorado, so this one is probably a young male migrating down from the PNW.

Close-up of a Calliope hummingbird with its beak completely inserted into a long thin scarlet Agastache flower. The stamens are dusting pollen onto the top of its head.
I have never had as many hummingbirds in my yard as I have this summer. They are so intent on feeding they don't pay any attention to me and my camera.
Note the stamens dusting its head.🦜🌱🌿🍃

A hummingbird has her wings fully outstretched as she comes to a sudden stop. Feathers in her "armpits" point straight down, acting as extreme airbreaks. One foot is visible, as if she is putting it down to help her slow her speed. Her tongue is barely visible in a small blep. She has iridescent green feathers on her head and as stripes radiating from her beak to her chest. Her chest is white, with reddish-tan along the edges. Her wings are translucent.

This broadtailed hummingbird rocketed towards me, then realized that I was in her way. Hard stop!
I've never seen the feathers in her wing pits deploy as air brakes before.

One thing I love about summer is seeing Skippers fluttering about.

A large yellow and black bumblebee perches on a lavendar plant. It is sticking its long black tongue into the white lavendar flower. Bumblebees are native pollinators.

A watercolour sketch of red bonfire salvia flowers visited by an Australian native blue-banded bee. The bee’s head and thorax are fluffy brown and its abdomen is black with 4 blue stripes, indicating that this is a female bee.
One of the nicest things to happen in the last few weeks is the discovery of blue-banded bees regularly snacking in the salvia. Here’s a little homage to them. 😊💙🧶

Georgia native honey bee on marigold flower.
November is here, and our still flowering plants are being lovingly scoured by bees and butterflies. #gardening #nativepollinator #ga #farmlife #homestead
