Beautiful! We used to live not far from Ranch Naturalista, but I never saw any Snowcaps over that way.

The Snowcap is so striking! And that green is almost fluorescent. Joan Garvey - Metairie, LA Zone 9

The snow cap's color is really specacular and that Sriped-tailed is gorgeous. It is great that so many of you can post such wonderful pictures for the rest of us. I would never dream that so many stunning hummers exist.

JP, we have some friends over in that direction, who told us they get them in their garden, but we don't get over that way often. Next time hopefully, we will see some.
