Laurie Hillyer Photography I am an amateur photographer who takes pictures as a hobby. I love to photograph my backyard birds and other wildlife in my yard.

My favorites are hummingbirds, hawks and bobcats. I am not selling any of my pictures but please feel free to share them!

I know I am a little late but here is tonights bunny. I still have only one and it has been coming out into the backyard in the middle of the night to eat. I always make sure it has plenty of leftover bird food on the grass to eat.

If you like wildlife, I have a lot more pictures and videos on my page. Please feel free to come by and take a look around. You are welcome to share any of my posts that you like.

My page feels deserted. It's so quiet on here now because no one is really commenting. Please let me know what you do and don't like so that I know what I need to change. I've never seen it like this before. Where did everyone go? I miss all of you!😥😥😥

I posted these a year ago. I put the descriptions under each picture.

This little Black Phoebe came by today to catch some insects off my front grass. It is sitting on some yard decor in these pictures. I think they are so cute!

A male Allen's hummingbird enjoying some nectar in the late afternoon. He is interrupted by a male Anna's hummingbird that came by for a sip of nectar. You can hear the California Scrubjays in the background. They are extremely loud.

In early spring, a narrow strip of scrub and chaparral along the Pacific Coast starts buzzing with the sights and sounds of the coppery and green Allen's Hummingbird. Males flash their brilliant reddish orange throat and put on an elaborate show for the females, swinging in pendulous arcs before climbing high into the sky and diving back down with a sharp squeal made by their tails. These early migrants mostly spend the winter in Mexico, but some stay in southern California year-round.

A male and female Anna's hummingbirds sharing a nectar feeder under the tree. This was taken in the late afternoon. The female seemed a bit nervous about perching on the feeder. She could have been worried about bees, predators or other territorial hummingbirds.

Anna’s Hummingbirds are among the most common hummingbirds along the Pacific Coast, yet they're anything but common in appearance. With their iridescent emerald feathers and sparkling rose-pink throats, they are more like flying jewelry than birds. Though no larger than a ping-pong ball and no heavier than a nickel, Anna’s Hummingbirds make a strong impression. In their thrilling courtship displays, males climb up to 130 feet into the air and then swoop to the ground with a curious burst of noise that they produce through their tail feathers.

A beautiful Allen's hummingbird enjoying some nectar under the tree. I took this video earlier today. He got a break from all the fighting going on.
