Broad-tailed hummingbird partakes in the milkweed

Well, since these little dudes don’t seem to like the milkweed I planted in my yard just for them, I had to travel for these. Haha. Actually, it was just a coincidence in that the photo subject I was seeking this past Sunday wasn’t cooperating and this handsome fellow did. He wasn’t too keen on letting me get as close as I would have liked so I kept my distance. It was heavily shadowed and early in the morning so shooting conditions weren’t ideal, but it still made for a fun bunch of images and my first hummingbirds of the season.
