Female Hummingbirds And Others

At first I thought I didn’t have any birds in my photos where the female could be distinguished from the male. The feathered friends that frequent my backyard, such as, blue jays, juncos, doves and robins, all look alike.

A light went off in my brain when the lovely little hummingbirds returned from the South a few days ago and there is a definite difference between the female and male.
