I'm amazed at the constant parade of flying insects that have been attracted by our garden. I only have a few decent shots of them, but I've definitely seen stuff I've never seen before.
I took this one today and didn't get as close as I'd have liked. This guy appears to be an all black bee. If you can zoom in on any of these, you get a better view.
I think this guy is a hornet of some kind. He was drinking from a puddle after I had just watered.
Just a run of the mill LadyBug on a run of the mill Marigold, but he wasn't moving around much so the picture came out well.
Couple of bees, one of them drinking water off the leaves I had just watered.

A handsome male Black-chinned Hummingbird. Note the eyelashes, actually comprised of tiny feathers which protect the eye.
Here's an adult female Rufous Hummingbird, on her southbound migration from Alaska to Mexico for the winter.

Verrry carefully, with mist nets and traps around flowers and feeders in the gardens. And, with the appropriate federal and state research permits. We have banded 12K+ hummingbirds of 12 species in six states and have discovered new aspects of hummingbird biology, added two new species to the CO state list and might soon tally the 500th species to the official list of Colorado birds. High drama in the ornithology world.

I have an old book with 500+ different hummingbirds. They're almost like snowflakes, so small yet so different.

"when you're happy you enjoy the melody but, when you're broken you understand the lyrics".
They are amazing animals, like us in so many ways and with most of the same organs. But proportionate to their size, hummingbirds have the largest brain, heart, lungs, breast muscles, kidneys and liver of any animal on earth. They've fascinated me since childhood.
A 4-gram hummingbird has a basic metabolic rate of 1,400 calories per kilogram. If a man had as high a weight-specific metabolic rate his daily intake of food would be about twice his body weight. Also, his temperature would be over 750 degrees Fahrenheit and he would use up to 155,000 calories per day. If a hummer weighed as much as us, we would be a tender little morsel for them.
