On the east coast of the US the only hummingbirds are the ruby throated species. In California, don't you have at least a few different kinds? I remember the ones in Costa Rica and the Virgin Islands were amazing! Hubby and I are big fans. He took the following photo of the one drinking from the bird of paradise in Costa Rica. Do you see the bee at its tail? The other is a male ruby throated.

We've always adored hummers! Anyone interested in a short sweet story about a hummer can read my old post A very caring little bird story. That portrays a female ruby throated that left a lasting impression on us.

Yes, we have a variety of hummingbirds here. They're such enchanting little dears! I enjoyed your story, very sweet. I imagine fairies riding on the backs of hummingbirds. And thanks for the photos - lovely!
