We mostly see Allan's and Anna's Hummingbirds in Santa Cruz. They can be viewed year round in the UCSC Arboretum which is where most of these were taken.

The first group of photos are all of Anna's Hummingbirds.
Is this an example of a bad hair day for a hummingbird?
I do like action shots and this is my only sequence (this and the four below it) with two hummingbirds in action together.
Below is my collection of Allen's Hummingbirds. There is some chance there is a Rufous Hummingbird mixed in but they are rare and extremely hard to tell from Allen's.
It seems the yellow on this birds head is pollen.
