Rufous Hummingbird Gathering Nesting Materials

Thee were two female hummers preparing nests..the Anna’s that I posted a couple of days ago and this rufous. I wanted to post them both because they are so amazing. I’m leaving today to Portland and then to Hawaii for almost 2 weeks. Hopefully I’ll be able to post and comment but it may be a bit spotty.
Thanks for your visits, comments, suggestions, favs

Fabulous clarity! Fav! Jane do you use a tripod for hummingbird shots?
I find it difficult to get the settings right. I have the same camera but maybe I should set it to automatic instead of manual?

Another beautiful Hummingbird shot! I know that a hummer is feeding from the feeder in my backyard but I haven't actually seen him yet. Only that the water line is lower.
