p.1 #1 · Ruby Throated Hummingbirds


The humming birds loved going to the firecracker plant and this was a challenging environment to photograph them in as the branches are so close together. I managed to get one burst off on one of there visits as it approached the little bush providing a faverate image. These are all female or juveniles as the male birds migrate first.

Comments and suggestions welcome,

Morris

Excellent captures in a difficult environment, Morris.
#5 is the 'money' shot for me. Nice shooting all around.

Excellent photos. No.4 made me chuckle. She was conserving some energy, without hovering.

And, agree with Greg from above post. #5 is the money shot.

Just beautiful Morris! I love these little creatures! Just super sharp and clear! Great feather detail!
It has been a hotter beginning to Fall than usual so my hummers are still here but it won't be long b4 they head South.
