Puck or Joy?

Two hummers are nesting in the hedge by the garage and frequently hang out in the orange tree by the holly and sing.  These shots are of one of the hummingbirds, for the other one wouldn't stick around for a profile pic.

Puck and Joy -- not twins I realize, but mates.

With Luck, Puck

Always a welcome sight.

Joy, Puck's Twin

Hummingbird, Grooming

Check out that counter-balancing foot action as the grooming begins.

Big shake of the feathers and a definite head-thrust: looks like a great wind is blowing.

Preening doesn't just happen.

Hummingbirds: Yard-Pals

There are two hummingbirds in the shot above.  One sitting on a branch, and the other flying off (to the right).  See the wings in motion?  

Check the next photo to clarify what's happening.

My Pal Puck
