Annas Hummingbird

This little guy was quite interested in what I was up to standing on top of “his” hill next to his lookout bush while checking the surf one morning in Carlsbad, CA. He would constantly fly up, perch on this branch within arms length, vocalize at me a bunch, and then buzz off again to go chase other hummers.
The lens I had on me doesn’t focus within about 5 feet, so in order to get these shots, I had to actually move farther back from the bush! He didn’t seem to mind.
If you look in his eye, you can see my silhouette =P
