Hummingbird

[kurtwall]

I finally got a hovering shot of a hummingbird, what I believe is an Anna's Hummingbird.



I could sit on my deck and watch these guys all morning. Alas that I don't get paid to sit on my deck, drink coffee, and take pictures.

Very nice capture Kurt! It's difficult to get them frozen just right.

What an awesome shot! The humming birds from up this way (ruby throated) have headed south now I think. They haven't been around in a couple of weeks; won't see them again until around next May.

Thanks, Mike. Birds are harder to shoot than I thought.

Thank you, Jamfke. I have no idea how many I've thrown out trying to get this one.

Ella1267: Flying hummers? I will bow before you if you can pull that off.

Vin, that's high praise coming from someone who's shots I frequently admire. Thank you.

Shelley S: I think this one and some of his friends are year-round residents. We'll see as Autumn gives way to what passes for winter in the Bay Area.
