Hummingbirds

My garden draws in an abundance of hummingbirds. They are possessive of the garden, scolding me when I come outside and even diving at my head.  I have seen them chasing other birds and  butterflies. Some of the flowers they feed on are: pomegranate,

salvia,


agapanthus,


and rosemary.

I saw a Costa's Hummingbird ( Calypte costae) feeding on the rosemary, with an iridescent purple head and a protruding belly.
