I got several pictures of hummingbirds at the feeder outside the back door, our main entrance, where we frequently startle the birds and vice versa. This is the station we set up because of the territorial nature of these little guys. We figure if they can't feed at the front door, they can come to the back! Anyway, this is a Caliope hummingbird, less usual than the Rufous or Anna's, distinguishable by his small(er) size, dark emerald back, and amazing purple striped throat.
Here you can clearly see the purple feathers at his throat.
A rare peaceful coexistence shot. This was just before the Caliope chased the other one away!
I'm sorry that I can't tell you which type this fellow is - he (or she) looks positively pudgy compared to the Caliope!I do not get used to hummingbirds.

Those are some nice photos of the hummingbirds feeding. Due to the fact that hummingbirds move so very quickly, it can often be quite difficult to capture a good photo. You were fortunate to do so and thanks for sharing them.
I just love hummingbirds! I so enjoy discovering interesting information about them and then having the chance to share it with others.
