Spring Lucifer celebration

Finally it's spring. Never mind that it's cold and windy, it's officially spring. The weather didn't stop me from celebrating, and what better way to celebrate than with Lucifer Hummingbirds? They are so splendid looking this time of year. The one I photographed here is banded. I don't remember seeing this gorget pattern last year so this may be his first spring adult plumage.

He seems really proud of his mantled collar. Unfortunately the overcast weather hindered me from getting a sharper photo.

First oasis Red Admiral for 2016.

Honeysuckle looking good.
