2011 Summer Hummers

We have two hummingbird feeders under the patio.  A Costa's hummingbird (we call him The Sentinel)  perches on a dried bush arrangement near the feeders.  He spends most of his time chasing the other hummingbirds away.  He lives in a lemon tree when he is not on guard duty.  These photos were shot through window panes in the master-bedroom patio door.
