The Hummingbird population at our home is exploding! I'm not sure if these are young birds, but several have this white head. If anyone has any information, let me know.
Love the details in the feathers. Wonder if that is just light shining off it's head, or it could has some leucistic feathers. A few years ago I photographed a completely white hummingbird with dark eyes.
Nice sharp focus of this bird. I've been reading up on them. Apparently the males run everyone off from the feeders during breeding season but when the youngsters leave the nest then they are supposed to gather without fighting. I started with one and now have three. I actually saw a ruby throated one the other night, but it hasn't been coming to the feeder. I wonder if the white head is the result of how the light is hitting those feathers.
