Hummingbirds
I have found I have gotten very good at spotting and hearing hummingbirds. They tend to sit at the very top of trees, on thin branches with no leaves, and they don't seem to have a specific time of day they are out. They also don't sit still for very long, probably because they need a massive amount of food vs their body weight. I have only seen a few types in Seattle though, and none of them were very colorful, but it could be the time of year. I hope to visit the San Diego Zoo's Hummingbirds sometime soon. I am planning on talking to John Marzluff to see if he knows of anyone working on Hummingbirds or small Song Birds and try to volunteer with them. Hopefully I can also get a good enough camera to take better pictures of them.

2 hummingbirds, one sitting on top branch of cherry tree, the other flying up very high then swooping down very fast and singing, then repeating. Mating ritual?

Sat on telephone wire singing until another hummingbird flew by, then it flew off and followed it. Too far away for my camera to pick up the colors but based on it's song I say it is probably an Anna's Hummingbird.

High short squeaks, sitting on a bare branch for at least 4 minutes singing. Looks like a female so it is hard to tell what kind it is. 58 degrees F, cloudy.
